Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Norfolk, Connecticut (ZIP 06058) lands in the top 8.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,560th) and the top 38% of Connecticut (104th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled expected annual loss settles at the national minimum, and tree cover lies in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and colon screening lands in the top 3.5% nationally. Recreation registers in the top 6.0% nationally, modeled housing insecurity sits in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled food insecurity is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, modeled transportation stands in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 8.9% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 06756, just across the boundary.

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 1.52 years of 85.0, 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.
