The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOA, one of the man-made “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
Fair Haven, New Jersey (ZIP 07704), by its composite score, sits in the top 0.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (41st) and the top 2.3% of New Jersey (13th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: household income is at the national maximum, and modeled food insecurity lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Modeled transportation stands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and loneliness registers in the bottom 0.6% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 0.7% nationally, modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes lies at the national minimum. Modeled cognitive disability rests in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and mobility disability resides in the bottom 1.5% nationally. On the other side, PFOA in drinking water is at the national maximum.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 07739, just across the boundary. The area further sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 1.51 years of 83.2, 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
