On balance, and by the composite measure, Leverett, Massachusetts (ZIP 01054) ranks in the top 8.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,600th) and the top 31% of Massachusetts (161st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled mammography sits in the top 0.9% nationally, and obesity rests in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the top 0.9% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 3.1% nationally, food insecurity lies in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and housing insecurity resides in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Modeled transportation lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled uninsured sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 01072, 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 1.79 years of 86.6, 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.
