In overall standing, New Ipswich, New Hampshire (ZIP 03071) comes out in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,699th) and the bottom 42% of New Hampshire (142nd).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: poverty registers in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and modeled tree cover stands in the top 8.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled diabetes is in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 12.6% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lies in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health sits in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Set against that, crowded housing registers in the top 11.3% 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 03084, 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 81.5, 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.
