Full methodology ›The read
Greenfield, Massachusetts (ZIP 01301), in overall standing, comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,788th) and the bottom 19% of Massachusetts (425th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: mental-health providers resides in the top 1.1% nationally, outpatient sits in the top 2.5% nationally, and elder services stands in the top 4.0% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 4.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Recreation stands in the top 6.4% nationally, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Against that, households without a vehicle sits in the top 7.5% nationally, and lead in tap water stands in the top 7.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 7.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 01337, 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 0.58 years of 77.9, 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.
