Mammography
86.4%
in the top 0.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS99thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.63 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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 ›Median household income
$127,188
in the top 7.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST68thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site

Higher is healthier
ST14thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking

in the top 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure

in the top 8.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
4.0%
in the bottom 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST58thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›The read
Millville, Massachusetts (ZIP 01529) ranks in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,075th) and the bottom 23% of Massachusetts (405th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled mammography is in the top 0.2% nationally, and elder services registers in the top 1.7% nationally. Household income lies in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 11.3% nationally, modeled uninsured lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 12.1% nationally. By contrast, distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 8.0% nationally, modeled binge drinking lies in the top 7.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 8.9% nationally.
Against its neighbors, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 01504, 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 2.98 years of 83.6, 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.
