Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled colon screening registers in the top 0.06% nationally, expected annual loss resides at the national minimum, and transportation noise settles at the national minimum. Modeled tree cover is in the top 6.1% nationally, housing insecurity sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and transportation lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 06021, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 2.29 years of 83.1, 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.
