Great Bend, New York (ZIP 13643), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 50% nationally (16,049th) and the bottom 17% of New York (1,432nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled short sleep rests in the top 5.1% nationally, tree cover lies at the national minimum, and binge drinking sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 6.9% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum, and walkability is in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Held up against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 13602, less than a tenth of a mile away.

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 1.83 years of 79.7, 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
