Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 01701, one of several in Framingham, Massachusetts stands in the top 5.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,582nd) and the top 19% of Massachusetts (101st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled mammography lands in the top 0.9% nationally, and obesity settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Household income rests in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled colon screening lands in the top 4.8% nationally. Dental providers settles in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health settles in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 10.1% nationally. By contrast, distance to a Superfund site lands in the bottom 9.0% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher 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. ZIP 01760, 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 0.70 years of 83.1, 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.
