Full methodology ›The read
Gilbertsville, New York (ZIP 13776), by its overall standing, sits in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,023rd) and the bottom 42% of New York (996th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography sits in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 14.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 14.9% nationally. Set against that, distance to a community health center lands in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the top 13.2% nationally. Modeled fine-particle resides in the top 17% nationally.
Defined 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. 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 nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 13807, about 14 miles away.

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 2.46 years of 86.1, 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.
