Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 12924, one of several in Keeseville, New York, by its overall standing, sits in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,229th) and the bottom 32% of New York (1,171st).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum, modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover lands in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Set against that, unemployment rests in the top 0.3% nationally, and households without a vehicle lies in the top 1.8% nationally. Homeownership sits in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 2.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 6.0% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 12912, just across the boundary.

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 2.30 years of 76.2, 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.
