Apalachin, New York (ZIP 13732), by its overall standing, sits in the top 14.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,723rd) and the top 35% of New York (597th).
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: modeled mammography rests in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening sits in the top 7.6% nationally, and cognitive disability settles in the bottom 10.8% nationally. Modeled obesity registers in the bottom 14.2% nationally, and loneliness stands in the bottom 14.1% nationally. Modeled uninsured lands in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the bottom 12.7% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and modeled pfas rests in the top 14.1% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 13850, 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 1.51 years of 82.7, 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.
