Mammography
85.5%
in the top 0.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST82ndUS99thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Obesity
24.5%
in the bottom 4.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST26thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Transit access
5.3 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of public-transit stops 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 ›Floodplain exposure
38.3%
in the top 6.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
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 ›Transportation noise
10.4%
in the top 8.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST80thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Walkability
120 intersections/sq mi
in the top 8.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST81stUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
2.4 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 8.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST23rdUS8thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Median household income
$120,324
in the top 9.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST61stUS90thDefinition & source ›
The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Lower is healthier
ST54thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening

Full methodology ›The read
North Weymouth, Massachusetts (ZIP 02191), in overall standing, comes out in the top 10.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,477th) and the top 41% of Massachusetts (215th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled mammography registers in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled obesity is in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and transit lies in the top 4.5% nationally. Walkability registers in the top 8.3% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Household income registers in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled uninsured is in the bottom 2.1% nationally. On the other hand, floodplain exposure lies in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise registers in the top 8.0% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 02043, 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 1.34 years of 79.0, 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.
