Fatal road crashes

Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

By the composite measure, Callicoon, New York (ZIP 12723) sits in the top 13.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,336th) and the top 32% of New York (558th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: fatal road crashes is at the national minimum, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 7.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity lies in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and fair or poor health settles in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Working the other way, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 11.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 12.1% nationally.
In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. ZIP 12767, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.06 years of 80.1, 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.
