ZIP 10801, one of several in New Rochelle, New York, in overall standing, comes out in the top 11.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,690th) and the top 28% of New York (476th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 1.0% nationally, and walkability stands in the top 2.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, lead in tap water stands in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 3.8% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the top 3.9% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 4.3% nationally, and homeownership sits in the bottom 5.6% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 10538, 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 0.63 years of 81.3, 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
