Full methodology ›The read
Miller Place, New York (ZIP 11764), by its composite score, sits in the top 4.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,517th) and the top 12.8% of New York (220th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: household income settles in the top 4.2% nationally, and park land sits in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and cognitive disability rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally, modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 7.8% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 11766, just across the boundary. The area 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 1.40 years of 81.4, 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
