Full methodology ›The read
Canton, Connecticut (ZIP 06019), by its composite score, sits in the top 5.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,885th) and the top 29% of Connecticut (79th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled expected annual loss stands at the national minimum, and elder services registers in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lies in the bottom 4.3% nationally, transportation rests in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and mammography resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and cognitive disability lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled pfas stands in the top 1.1% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.12 years of 81.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match. How distance is measured
