What defines this ZIP

Elder-services access
0.81 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Mammography

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes

Lower is healthier
ST97thUS75thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Brimfield, Massachusetts (ZIP 01010) sits in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,102nd) and the bottom 32% of Massachusetts (358th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: elder services rests in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled mammography settles in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled tree cover lands in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled uninsured settles in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and food insecurity lands in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Poverty rests in the bottom 12.3% nationally. Against that, fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the bottom 14.5% nationally, and modeled arsenic rests in the top 15.0% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 01518, just across the boundary.

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 2.22 years of 81.2, 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.
