Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Monroe Bridge, Massachusetts (ZIP 01350) lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,400th) and the bottom 25% of Massachusetts (394th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled tree cover sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and transportation noise rests at the national minimum. Modeled obesity is in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Against that, slow internet speeds lands in the top 1.6% nationally, and poverty registers in the top 3.4% nationally. Crowded housing sits in the top 4.4% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 01367, 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 1.37 years of 84.0, 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.
