Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 10024, one of several in New York, New York ranks in the top 0.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (207th) and the top 2.5% of New York (43rd).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled obesity lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and household income settles in the top 1.6% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Physicians settles in the top 2.0% nationally, park land rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. On the other side, households without a vehicle rests in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lands in the top 1.7% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 10028, less than a tenth of a mile away.

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 0.58 years of 83.7, 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
