In overall standing, Westport, Massachusetts (ZIP 02790) comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,102nd) and the bottom 28% of Massachusetts (381st).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled mammography stands in the top 2.9% nationally, modeled uninsured lands in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and transit is in the top 14.3% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 14.6% nationally, mental-health providers rests in the top 17% nationally, and modeled obesity lies in the bottom 18% nationally. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas registers in the top 12.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands in the top 16% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 02748, 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 0.93 years of 80.7, 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.
