US95thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

In its overall standing, Highland Mills, New York (ZIP 10930) lands in the top 5.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,607th) and the top 13.2% of New York (228th).
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, modeled cognitive disability rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and park land registers in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and mobility disability is in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 10.7% nationally. On the other side, lead in tap water lies in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the top 7.2% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 10917, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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.

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 1.54 years of 82.0, 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
