Outer-floodplain exposure
16.2%
in the top 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
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 ›Colon-cancer screening
76.4%
in the top 1.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›Mental-health provider access

in the top 5.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of mental-health clinics located 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.

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Centerville, Massachusetts (ZIP 02632) places in the top 11.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,792nd) and the top 44% of Massachusetts (232nd).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled colon screening resides in the top 1.5% nationally, and mental-health providers is in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled obesity lands in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and mammography stands in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Household income settles in the top 9.2% nationally, home broadband subscription sits in the top 10.0% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 10.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 2.4% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 02630, 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

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. How distance is measured
