In its overall standing, Natural Bridge, New York (ZIP 13665) lands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,499th) and the bottom 16% of New York (1,453rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 10.7% nationally. Set against that, walkability resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and modeled pfas settles in the top 12.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 14.3% nationally, and poverty sits in the top 14.6% nationally. Modeled binge drinking lands in the top 14.1% nationally, and short sleep lies in the top 15% nationally. Household income stands in the bottom 16% nationally.
Put simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 13327, 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 1.73 years of 83.3, 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.
