The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Judged by its overall standing, Montague, Massachusetts (ZIP 01351) sits in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,556th) and the bottom 24% of Massachusetts (398th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled obesity settles in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening settles in the top 8.2% nationally, and park land lands in the top 12.6% nationally. Modeled uninsured rests in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography lands in the top 13.6% nationally. Against that, modeled arsenic rests in the top 17% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 01054, 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 2.52 years of 83.4, 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.
