Jamesville, New York (ZIP 13078) ranks in the top 4.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,432nd) and the top 12.1% of New York (209th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled cognitive disability is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and mammography registers in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled transportation lies in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening registers in the top 4.2% nationally, food insecurity lies in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Recreation lies in the top 11.1% nationally. On the other side, lead in tap water is in the top 10.8% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 13066, 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 0.76 years of 82.9, 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
