The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

In its overall standing, Copenhagen, New York (ZIP 13626) lands in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,423rd) and the bottom 22% of New York (1,357th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 17% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 19% nationally. Working the other way, walkability rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 11.9% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity settles in the top 17% nationally. Physicians is at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 21% nationally. Childcare lands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 13367, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.94 years of 81.4, 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.
