In overall standing, Great Neck, New York (ZIP 11023) comes out in the top 4.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,354th) and the top 11.6% of New York (199th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: fiber broadband registers in the top 2.8% nationally, household income stands in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Walkability is in the top 5.4% nationally, modeled obesity resides in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Physicians lies in the top 8.2% nationally, and pharmacy sits in the top 8.6% nationally. By contrast, distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 8.6% nationally.

In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 11021, just across the boundary. This ZIP further sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.70 years of 85.1, 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
