Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Jericho, New York (ZIP 11753) lands in the top 0.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (203rd) and the top 2.5% of New York (42nd).
The measures split the difference for this area: household income settles in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled obesity lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and utility shutoff lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, modeled transportation sits in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and modeled independent living disability rests in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Fiber broadband is in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health stands in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Against that, PFAS in drinking water settles at the national maximum.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 11791, 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 0.85 years of 82.9, 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
