Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Mattapoisett, Massachusetts (ZIP 02739) ranks in the top 5.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,761st) and the top 21% of Massachusetts (112th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled mammography sits in the top 0.02% nationally, and food insecurity is in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and utility shutoff resides in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity registers in the bottom 4.0% nationally, colon screening rests in the top 2.6% nationally, and obesity stands in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Household income lies in the top 7.0% nationally, and modeled uninsured lands in the bottom 0.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled pfas sits in the top 5.3% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Close by, ZIP 02556, about 5.4 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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 2.23 years of 80.2, 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. How distance is measured
