The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey (ZIP 07716) ranks in the top 2.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (900th) and the top 27% of New Jersey (158th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and transportation rests in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity is in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and utility shutoff stands in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally, modeled housing insecurity lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and household income resides in the top 7.8% nationally. Lithium in drinking water lands in the bottom 8.2% nationally, modeled independent living disability registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 6.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 07760, just across the boundary. The area additionally 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 0.96 years of 80.1, 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.
