Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Malverne, New York (ZIP 11565) lands in the top 3.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,109th) and the top 9.6% of New York (166th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: walkability rests in the top 1.4% nationally, household income registers in the top 4.1% nationally, and fiber broadband resides in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability settles in the bottom 1.9% nationally, modeled colon screening is in the top 3.4% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, and PFOS in drinking water stands in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise rests in the top 5.9% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 11570, 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. 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 1.03 years of 81.7, 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
