Elder-services access
0.72 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

ST1stUS6thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

By its overall health score, Temple, New Hampshire (ZIP 03084) lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,119th) and the bottom 48% of New Hampshire (126th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: elder services lies in the top 1.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover resides in the top 4.4% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography rests in the top 7.8% nationally, transportation is in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and food insecurity stands in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 12.4% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a Superfund site lies in the bottom 14.2% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 03082, 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 1.26 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.
