On balance, and by the composite measure, North Hatfield, Massachusetts (ZIP 01066) ranks in the top 13.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,271st) and the top 49% of Massachusetts (258th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and mammography lands in the top 1.1% nationally. Homeownership registers at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Against that, poverty is in the top 0.4% nationally, housing-cost burden stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 2.5% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water resides at the national maximum.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, poverty runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 1.18 years of 79.0, 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.
