Full methodology ›The read
Bloomington, New York (ZIP 12411) ranks in the top 11.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,535th) and the top 26% of New York (458th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and poverty stands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health stands in the bottom 8.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas sits in the top 8.5% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 12419, about 1.7 miles away.

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 1.15 years of 79.7, 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
