The number of mental-health clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Oneida, New York (ZIP 13421) lands in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,193rd) and the bottom 29% of New York (1,234th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers stands in the top 6.3% nationally, physicians rests in the top 8.1% nationally, and outpatient registers in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Elder services settles in the top 9.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled pfas sits in the top 9.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 11.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies in the top 13.0% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. On the overall standing, ZIP 13032, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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

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.
