Tolland, Connecticut (ZIP 06084) ranks in the top 3.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,136th) and the top 16% of Connecticut (44th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled expected annual loss lies at the national minimum, and food insecurity is in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Household income registers in the top 6.3% nationally, and modeled transportation lies in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity is in the bottom 5.4% nationally, cognitive disability registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and fair or poor health lies in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability is in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the top 6.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas lies in the top 1.4% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 06232, about 4.2 miles away.

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 0.70 years of 81.4, 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.
