ZIP 10466, one of several in Bronx, New York, by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 44% nationally (18,087th) and the bottom 12.1% of New York (1,522nd).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: households without a vehicle settles in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled short sleep registers in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled loneliness stands in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lands in the top 1.8% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the top 2.7% nationally, and lead in tap water resides in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the top 3.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff sits in the top 4.5% nationally. More encouragingly, walkability settles in the top 3.8% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 10469, 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 0.56 years of 79.6, 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
