Loud transportation noise

Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
0.97 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST87thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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.
Full methodology ›Mammography

in the top 7.4% nationally
Higher is healthier

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes

Lower is healthier
ST94thUS77thDefinition & source ›
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.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Verona, New York (ZIP 13478) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,537th) and the bottom 44% of New York (961st).
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: recreation lands in the top 9.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography is in the top 7.4% nationally, disaster risk settles in the bottom 12.7% nationally, and uninsured resides in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Homeownership registers in the top 15% nationally, and modeled colon screening rests in the top 13.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 7.1% nationally, unemployment lies in the top 13.2% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 14.3% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Close by, ZIP 13054, just across the boundary, 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

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.
