The read

Overall, Westdale, New York (ZIP 13483) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (16,952nd) and the bottom 14.9% of New York (1,473rd).

The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Set against that, home broadband subscription is in the bottom 1.8% nationally, distance to a nursing home settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 5.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 5.6% nationally, modeled energy burden rests in the top 5.1% nationally, and homeownership stands in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Modeled binge drinking lies in the top 9.8% nationally.

A note on the 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 13316, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.19 years of 80.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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. How distance is measured
