What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Lead in tap water
10 ppb
in the top 2.6% 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 ›Park land
34.9%
in the top 3.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
6.5%
in the top 5.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
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 ›Walkability
140 intersections/sq mi
in the top 6.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST85thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Physician access
2.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 6.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Households without a vehicle
14.2%
in the top 8.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST80thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband

Higher is healthier
ST88thUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss

in the top 17% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS83rdDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›High cholesterol

in the top 15% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS85thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 10306, one of several in Staten Island, New York, in overall standing, comes out in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,292nd) and the top 44% of New York (764th).
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: park land stands in the top 3.9% nationally, walkability resides in the top 6.2% nationally, and physicians sits in the top 6.8% nationally. Fiber broadband stands in the top 9.6% nationally, and dental providers resides in the top 12.1% nationally. Set against that, lead in tap water sits in the top 2.6% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 5.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides in the top 8.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the top 8.7% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 11.2% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 10305, just across the boundary.

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 0.52 years of 80.3, 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
