Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Newtonville, New Jersey (ZIP 08346) sits in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,459th) and the bottom 21% of New Jersey (461st).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: poverty settles at the national minimum, homeownership stands at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription is at the national maximum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover sits in the top 7.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, housing-cost burden lands in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled pfas resides in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the top 8.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 8.5% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. ZIP 08037, just across the boundary, 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

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 1.85 years of 80.7, 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.
