Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Oradell, New Jersey (ZIP 07649) sits in the top 0.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (128th) and the top 5.5% of New Jersey (32nd).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: household income settles in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled transportation stands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 1.1% nationally, dental providers sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled obesity registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and housing insecurity resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally. Physicians lies in the top 2.8% nationally. On the other hand, lead in tap water settles in the top 2.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 07627, about 1.4 miles away, ranks 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

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
