By the composite health measure, Truro, Massachusetts (ZIP 02666) ranks in the top 9.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,939th) and the top 35% of Massachusetts (182nd).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: transit is in the top 1.0% nationally, and park land settles in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 0.7% nationally, and childcare registers in the top 2.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 2.7% nationally, modeled mammography stands in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity lies in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled obesity lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Set against that, distance to an emergency room is in the top 3.8% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

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.
