Full methodology ›The read
West Camp, New York (ZIP 12490), on the composite measure, lands in the top 10.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,298th) and the top 25% of New York (428th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled colon screening lands in the top 0.2% nationally, loneliness resides in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and cognitive disability lies in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally, utility shutoff stands in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and food insecurity is in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and mammography sits in the top 3.6% nationally. On the other hand, modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 0.3% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 0.7% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 12453, about 0.6 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 1.62 years of 78.7, 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
