Full methodology ›The read
Thousand Island Park, New York (ZIP 13692), by its composite score, sits in the top 5.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,821st) and the top 14.8% of New York (255th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 0.03% nationally, and household income resides in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled transportation is in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and housing insecurity lands in the bottom 0.2% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, colon screening registers in the top 0.06% nationally, and food insecurity settles in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 0.6% nationally, modeled pfas lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and walkability rests in the top 1.1% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Among the ZIPs nearby, none ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 1.87 years of 87.7, 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.
