Higher is healthier
ST91stUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
10 ppb
in the top 3.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
US97thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing
8.7%
in the top 5.9% nationally

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

in the bottom 7.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST20thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate

Higher is healthier
ST13thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 10304, one of several in Staten Island, New York ranks in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,596th) and the bottom 27% of New York (1,259th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and walkability is in the top 3.1% nationally. Fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled short sleep resides in the top 2.6% nationally, households without a vehicle registers in the top 2.6% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the top 3.2% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 5.9% nationally, housing-cost burden lies in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity lands in the top 7.2% nationally. Homeownership sits in the bottom 8.7% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Close by, ZIP 10301, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.57 years of 76.4, 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
