Wellfleet, Massachusetts (ZIP 02667) ranks in the top 7.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,447th) and the top 29% of Massachusetts (151st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled colon screening is in the top 0.2% nationally, and housing insecurity registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Park land lies in the top 3.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally, modeled transportation lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and elder services is in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled obesity registers in the bottom 7.2% nationally, mammography lies in the top 3.6% nationally, and short sleep is in the bottom 5.2% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 02663, 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 2.22 years of 82.2, 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.
