The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Overall, Vernon, New York (ZIP 13476) places in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,839th) and the bottom 38% of New York (1,071st).
The standout strengths in the data are the natural place to begin: modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 12.9% nationally, and mammography lies in the top 14.9% nationally. Modeled uninsured rests in the bottom 11.7% nationally. On the other side, fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking lands in the top 16% nationally. Recreation stands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas registers in the top 18% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 20% nationally.
For readers new to these 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. 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. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 13323, 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 1.38 years of 79.3, 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.
