The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Broadalbin, New York (ZIP 12025) ranks in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,458th) and the bottom 35% of New York (1,126th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography resides in the top 12.9% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the bottom 15% nationally. Modeled uninsured sits in the bottom 8.3% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 20% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 21% nationally. On the other side, fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas resides in the top 12.8% nationally. Physicians stands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden sits in the top 16% nationally.
For context, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 12074, 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 1.13 years of 82.8, 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.
