Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Stottville, New York (ZIP 12172) lands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,334th) and the bottom 50% of New York (867th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: fiber broadband is at the national maximum, poverty sits at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 7.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled pfas settles in the top 2.5% nationally, and homeownership is in the bottom 3.7% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. On the overall standing, ZIP 12075, about 0.6 miles away, 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 1.51 years of 80.9, 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.
