Subsidized affordable housing
320 units
in the top 7.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
5.8 ppb
in the top 8.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
US92ndDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Transit access
3.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS90thDefinition & source ›
The number of public-transit stops 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.
Full methodology ›Mammography
80.7%
in the top 7.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST81stUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
4.6%
in the bottom 4.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST18thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS80thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
Baldwinsville, New York (ZIP 13027), by its overall standing, sits in the top 13.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,425th) and the top 33% of New York (568th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Transit stands in the top 9.9% nationally, and modeled mammography lands in the top 7.8% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and modeled colon screening resides in the top 10.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the bottom 12.8% nationally, and uninsured sits in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Set against that, lead in tap water settles in the top 8.1% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 13041, 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 0.79 years of 82.4, 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
