Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Inlet, New York (ZIP 13360) sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,941st) and the top 36% of New York (618th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 1.9% nationally, home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum, and modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 4.0% nationally, tree cover settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.1% nationally.
In plain language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 12847, about 1.4 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.94 years of 79.8, 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.
