Forestport, New York (ZIP 13338), by its overall standing, sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,630th) and the bottom 48% of New York (898th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: modeled tree cover resides in the top 4.5% nationally, colon screening rests in the top 4.8% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability settles in the bottom 9.5% nationally. By contrast, walkability registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and fatal road crashes stands in the top 7.3% nationally.

Defined in plain terms, humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. 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 13353, 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 1.23 years of 79.7, 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
