The number of mental-health clinics located 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.

Overall, Belmont, New Hampshire (ZIP 03220) lands in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,636th) and the bottom 5.8% of New Hampshire (229th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: mental-health providers sits in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Elder services settles in the top 11.2% nationally, grocery resides in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the top 18% nationally. Recreation rests in the top 18% nationally, outpatient stands in the top 20% nationally, and dental providers lies in the top 21% nationally. Set against that, modeled pfas lands in the top 12.7% nationally, and fiber broadband sits in the bottom 20% nationally.
A note on the terms: 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 03237, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.10 years of 79.6, 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.
