Floodplain exposure

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Cornwallville, New York (ZIP 12418), overall, ranks in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,988th) and the bottom 42% of New York (995th).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, modeled tree cover resides in the top 5.2% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home stands in the top 6.3% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 7.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 9.8% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 12422, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.81 years of 80.0, 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.
