The number of mental-health clinics 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.

Bedford Hills, New York (ZIP 10507) ranks in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,423rd) and the top 39% of New York (673rd).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: mental-health providers lands in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and obesity lands in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 7.8% nationally. By contrast, housing-cost burden lands in the top 7.1% nationally, modeled transportation noise settles in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 8.3% nationally. Crowded housing lands in the top 9.7% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 10506, 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 1.30 years of 85.4, 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
