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.

Combined exposures in this ZIP
More than one environmental exposure stands out in this ZIP. Each is established independently and shown on its own above; they are grouped here for context — not because one causes the other.
This area ranks among the highest 10% of US ZIP codes for both flood exposure and the share of households without a vehicle.

The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 10282, one of several in New York, New York stands in the top 0.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (246th) and the top 3.0% of New York (51st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: household income sits at the national maximum, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally. Walkability stands in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Modeled diabetes resides in the bottom 1.2% nationally, coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and hearing disability sits in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 0.02% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 0.4% nationally, and households without a vehicle sits in the top 0.7% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 10280, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby. Beyond the headline readings, the area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 85.8, 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
