Colton, New York (ZIP 13625), in overall standing, comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,023rd) and the bottom 46% of New York (926th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled tree cover registers in the top 7.8% nationally, modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 13.6% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the top 11.1% nationally. Modeled uninsured registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and cognitive disability is in the bottom 15% nationally. Homeownership lies in the top 17% nationally. Against that, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 17% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 13617, 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 2.12 years of 89.8, 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.
