The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Garrattsville, New York (ZIP 13342) stands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,888th) and the bottom 34% of New York (1,146th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, and disaster risk lies in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Homeownership is in the top 6.0% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, crowded housing is in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 6.0% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, crowded housing 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 13810, 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

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 1.51 years of 84.0, 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
