The number of civic and social organizations 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 ›The read
Westmoreland, New York (ZIP 13490), by its composite score, sits in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,394th) and the top 45% of New York (776th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: poverty lands at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 3.9% nationally, and household income settles in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and civic lies in the top 6.5% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier comparison close by, see 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 1.72 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. How distance is measured
