Hearing disability
4.9%
in the bottom 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.
Full methodology ›Transit access
3.9 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS92ndDefinition & 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
81.1%
in the top 6.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST84thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
5.3 ppb
in the top 9.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
US91stDefinition & 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 ›Fair or poor health
13.7%
in the bottom 8.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST17thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening
72.6%
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST78thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›Diabetes
9.0%
in the bottom 8.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST14thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
23.1%
in the top 14.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS85thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 14.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS85thDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)
4.8%
in the bottom 5.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST22ndUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 13090, one of several in Liverpool, New York sits in the top 13.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,293rd) and the top 32% of New York (554th).
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: modeled hearing disability registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally, transit is in the top 7.6% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the top 6.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Dental providers is in the top 10.4% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health lies in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening is in the top 8.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lies in the top 11.9% nationally. On the other hand, lead in tap water registers in the top 9.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP 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 0.73 years of 80.6, 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
