Overall, Deep River, Connecticut (ZIP 06417) places in the top 9.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,904th) and the top 44% of Connecticut (121st).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled expected annual loss is at the national minimum, and childcare lands in the top 2.9% nationally. Transit stands in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the top 2.1% nationally, recreation sits in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled food insecurity lies in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Park land rests in the top 8.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled pfas is in the top 2.0% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 06371, 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 1.11 years of 77.9, 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
