Full methodology ›The read
Glenwood, New Jersey (ZIP 07418) ranks in the top 13.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,432nd) and the bottom 38% of New Jersey (363rd).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: household income sits in the top 3.2% nationally, and homeownership resides at the national maximum. Modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and park land sits in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Poverty resides in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled pfas sits in the top 8.4% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 10969, less than a tenth of a mile 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 1.53 years of 79.4, 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.
