South Hadley, Massachusetts (ZIP 01075), by its composite score, sits in the top 11.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,517th) and the top 41% of Massachusetts (216th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and fiber broadband is in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the top 3.4% nationally, and mammography stands in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 4.9% nationally, high cholesterol settles in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and diabetes sits in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Park land lies in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health resides in the bottom 7.3% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard.

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 0.74 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.
