Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 8.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST16thUS8thDefinition & 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 ›Dental provider access
0.91 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Walkability
2.4 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 10.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST8thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
16.3 mi
in the top 10.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS89thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Obesity
42.9%
in the top 9.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
26.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 17% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS83rdDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›The read
Winthrop, New York (ZIP 13697), overall, ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,333rd) and the bottom 19% of New York (1,396th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and dental providers lands in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Unemployment stands in the bottom 15% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 18% nationally. Working the other way, walkability registers in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 10.9% nationally. Modeled obesity settles in the top 9.4% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the top 17% nationally. Modeled binge drinking sits in the top 16% nationally.
Defined 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. ZIP 13676, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 2.03 years of 81.6, 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.
