In overall standing, Stockholm, New Jersey (ZIP 07460) comes out in the top 10.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,292nd) and the bottom 44% of New Jersey (324th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: household income is in the top 4.5% nationally, modeled obesity resides in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and poverty rests in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled utility shutoff settles in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and transportation registers in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the top 11.4% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site is in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 07421, 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 0.97 years of 80.4, 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.
