ST21stUS10thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater

Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS14thDefinition & source ›
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.

Rodman, New York (ZIP 13682), in overall standing, comes out in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,584th) and the bottom 35% of New York (1,131st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 13.3% nationally, and arsenic resides in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Modeled mammography sits in the top 13.6% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 16% nationally. Against that, walkability resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and modeled binge drinking sits in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the top 9.2% nationally.
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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest 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 2.00 years of 83.2, 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.
