Hermon, New York (ZIP 13652), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 43% nationally (18,166th) and the bottom 12.0% of New York (1,524th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and childcare lands in the top 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 13.9% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the bottom 14.0% nationally. Against that, crowded housing rests in the top 6.2% nationally, and unemployment settles in the top 9.1% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and modeled obesity rests in the top 8.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. 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 0.78 years of 81.2, 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.
