Child-care access

The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
Gill, Massachusetts (ZIP 01354), on the composite measure, lands in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,402nd) and the bottom 35% of Massachusetts (342nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: childcare resides in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled obesity lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening settles in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the top 6.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 10.1% nationally, and modeled uninsured sits in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 14.2% nationally. On the other hand, fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic resides in the top 15% nationally.
In everyday language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 01360, 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 1.47 years of 81.1, 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.
