North Brookfield, New York (ZIP 13418), overall, ranks in the bottom 39% nationally (19,611th) and the bottom 9.4% of New York (1,569th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, households without a vehicle registers in the top 8.0% nationally, and unemployment resides in the top 8.1% nationally.

Defined simply, 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 13355, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.08 years of 78.2, 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.
