In overall standing, Henderson, New York (ZIP 13650) comes out in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,268th) and the bottom 32% of New York (1,174th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 6.8% nationally, modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lands in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 8.2% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 5.7% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room sits in the top 11.6% nationally.
In plain terms, 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. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 13605, 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 0.68 years of 78.8, 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.
