ST1stUS1stDefinition & 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.

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 10069, one of several in New York, New York lands in the top 1.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (346th) and the top 3.9% of New York (67th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: household income lies in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled obesity stands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and walkability rests in the top 0.2% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, energy burden resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and hearing disability settles in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Set against that, households without a vehicle is in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled binge drinking sits in the top 1.3% nationally. Unemployment lands in the top 1.9% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 2.0% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". On the overall standing, ZIP 10023, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.48 years of 86.0, 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.
