Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Harriman, New York (ZIP 10926) ranks in the top 7.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,451st) and the top 19% of New York (329th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: park land stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 5.7% nationally, and civic sits in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 7.8% nationally, cognitive disability resides in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and stroke registers in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Set against that, modeled pfas rests in the top 5.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the top 9.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Close by, ZIP 10917, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.84 years of 84.8, 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
