On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 10001, one of several in New York, New York ranks in the top 1.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (455th) and the top 4.4% of New York (76th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 0.4% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and recreation sits in the top 1.0% nationally. Civic rests in the top 1.2% nationally, outpatient is in the top 1.2% nationally, and modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 0.9% nationally, households without a vehicle lies in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides in the top 1.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 10011, 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

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.
