By its overall health score, Peekskill, New York (ZIP 10566) lands in the top 9.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,173rd) and the top 24% of New York (417th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and walkability rests in the top 7.7% nationally. Park land is in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Against that, housing-cost burden lies in the top 7.0% nationally, distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and households without a vehicle lands in the top 9.8% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 10511, 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 0.79 years of 79.7, 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
