Walkability
200 intersections/sq mi
in the top 2.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS97thDefinition & 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 2.9% 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 ›Fatal road crashes
1.6 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST14thUS6thDefinition & 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 ›Fiber broadband
97.8%
in the top 7.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Median household income
$125,850
in the top 8.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST84thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.
Full methodology ›Park land
15.8%
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Cognitive disability
10.8%
in the bottom 8.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST25thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
5.4%
in the bottom 9.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST39thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 21% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS79thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 10308, one of several in Staten Island, New York comes out in the top 9.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,113th) and the top 24% of New York (411th).
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: walkability resides in the top 2.6% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 7.1% nationally. Household income sits in the top 8.0% nationally, park land settles in the top 8.5% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability registers in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Modeled obesity stands in the bottom 13.9% nationally, and hearing disability lands in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Working the other way, lead in tap water is in the top 2.9% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 12.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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 nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 10312, 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 0.70 years of 81.5, 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
