By the composite measure, Erving, Massachusetts (ZIP 01344) sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,773rd) and the bottom 29% of Massachusetts (376th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: modeled obesity stands in the bottom 7.2% nationally, tree cover is in the top 5.8% nationally, and mammography rests in the top 6.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 9.8% nationally, and uninsured lands in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 13.8% nationally, and diabetes lies in the bottom 11.5% nationally. By contrast, fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden stands in the top 13.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 01354, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.45 years of 81.6, 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.
