Overall, Phoenicia, New York (ZIP 12464) lands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,467th) and the bottom 31% of New York (1,195th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled tree cover settles in the top 0.09% nationally, and childcare resides in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and recreation rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Set against that, housing-cost burden lands in the top 4.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 6.2% nationally, and poverty is in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the top 9.2% nationally.
A note on the terms: 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 12410, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.89 years of 81.0, 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. How distance is measured
