On the composite measure, Uxbridge, Massachusetts (ZIP 01569) stands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,553rd) and the bottom 40% of Massachusetts (316th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled mammography settles in the top 0.5% nationally, and household income rests in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled uninsured settles in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and poverty rests in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 14.3% nationally. On the other side, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 10.2% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 11.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking settles in the top 12.7% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". ZIP 01516, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.03 years of 80.2, 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.
