Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Quinton, New Jersey (ZIP 08072) lands in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,833rd) and the bottom 20% of New Jersey (466th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: poverty stands at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum. Modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and expected annual loss sits in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 8.4% nationally, modeled short sleep rests in the top 11.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise stands in the top 11.9% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 08001, about 1.6 miles away, ranks better 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

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 3.93 years of 89.3, 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.
