On the composite measure, Peterboro, New York (ZIP 13134) stands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,989th) and the bottom 33% of New York (1,151st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Homeownership sits at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.

Set beside the wider area around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 13032, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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

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.
