On balance, and by the composite measure, Yulan, New York (ZIP 12792) ranks in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,666th) and the top 46% of New York (802nd).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled transportation noise stands at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled tree cover lies in the top 3.9% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the other hand, unemployment rests in the top 1.2% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the top 2.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 6.1% nationally.
In plainer 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 12743, about 2.1 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 2.55 years of 83.5, 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.
