Fatal road crashes

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

In overall standing, Waddington, New York (ZIP 13694) comes out in the bottom 46% nationally (17,233rd) and the bottom 14.2% of New York (1,485th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: fatal road crashes settles at the national minimum, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and modeled mammography stands in the top 12.3% nationally. Modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 17% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the bottom 20% nationally. Set against that, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 9.4% nationally, and modeled obesity rests in the top 9.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies in the top 12.9% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Physicians settles at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 13621, 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 1.66 years of 81.5, 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.
