Siasconset, Massachusetts (ZIP 02564), by its composite score, sits in the top 10.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,347th) and the top 39% of Massachusetts (206th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and colon screening rests in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and short sleep is in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, housing-cost burden lands in the top 1.0% nationally, poverty stands in the top 4.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 5.4% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.16 years of 81.6, 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.
