Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Sag Harbor, New York (ZIP 11963) lands in the top 5.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,781st) and the top 14.2% of New York (245th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, cognitive disability resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 6.5% nationally, modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and household income lands in the top 7.5% nationally. Recreation lies in the top 7.6% nationally. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site stands at the national minimum, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled pfas registers in the top 4.2% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. On the overall standing, ZIP 11932, 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 1.16 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.
