Lead in tap water
35 ppb
in the top 0.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
US99thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 1.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.55 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
5.8%
in the top 3.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Households without a vehicle
16.5%

The share of households with no vehicle available.
Full methodology ›Obesity

Lower is healthier
ST8thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, North Haverhill, New Hampshire (ZIP 03774) comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,920th) and the bottom 12.0% of New Hampshire (214th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and elder services stands in the top 2.1% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity is in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Set against that, lead in tap water lies in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled energy burden sits in the top 3.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles in the top 6.2% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 8.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 03765, 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 1.14 years of 77.2, 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.
