Full methodology ›The read
Sutton, Massachusetts (ZIP 01590), by its overall standing, sits in the top 10.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,375th) and the top 40% of Massachusetts (209th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled mammography rests in the top 0.5% nationally, household income lies in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled food insecurity sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Modeled uninsured settles in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and childcare registers in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the bottom 6.9% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 10.4% nationally. By contrast, outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 10.3% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, 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". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 01519, 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 2.08 years of 82.8, 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.
