Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 10019, one of several in New York, New York lands in the top 0.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (264th) and the top 3.1% of New York (53rd).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled obesity registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 0.6% nationally. Dental providers stands in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally. Physicians lands in the top 1.6% nationally, and civic sits in the top 1.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking is in the top 0.9% nationally, households without a vehicle settles in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides in the top 1.5% nationally. Homeownership registers in the bottom 2.1% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the 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 comparison, ZIP 10022, 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 0.88 years of 83.2, 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. How distance is measured
