Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, for Sabael, New York (ZIP 12864), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: modeled pfas lands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 1.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, poverty lies at the national minimum, and homeownership sits at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Working the other way, unemployment stands in the top 0.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 1.0% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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.

| Life expectancy at birth | 80.0 yr ± 1.55 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 80.9 yr (78.0–84.5) n=1,692 |
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 1.55 years of 80.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
