The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›The read
Feeding Hills, Massachusetts (ZIP 01030), on the composite measure, lands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,215th) and the bottom 23% of Massachusetts (408th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled mammography lies in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Park land stands in the top 10.5% nationally, and modeled uninsured is in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Recreation rests in the top 12.2% nationally, and mental-health providers sits in the top 12.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 13.4% nationally, and dental providers lands in the top 14.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 1.9% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 01077, 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 0.76 years of 80.2, 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.
