In overall standing, Lyons Falls, New York (ZIP 13368) comes out in the bottom 39% nationally (19,459th) and the bottom 9.8% of New York (1,561st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 10.9% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 13.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled energy burden stands in the top 9.5% nationally, and obesity lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 16% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 16% nationally. Unemployment rests in the top 17% nationally.
In plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 13312, 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 2.46 years of 86.7, 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.
