Recreation access
1.2 per 1,000 residents
in the top 5.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

in the top 18% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS82ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the top 24% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS76thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
20.8 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 26% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS74thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Westport, New York (ZIP 12993) ranks in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,228th) and the top 50% of New York (861st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: recreation rests in the top 5.9% nationally, and modeled colon screening is in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Civic settles in the top 9.7% nationally, modeled mammography lies in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover resides in the top 11.3% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability registers in the bottom 14.4% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 16% nationally. Working the other way, unemployment rests in the top 8.6% 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 12932, 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 0.72 years of 81.5, 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. How distance is measured
