Overall, Kirkwood, New York (ZIP 13795) places in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,381st) and the bottom 28% of New York (1,245th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover lies in the top 10.5% nationally. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other hand, modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 3.4% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 8.9% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and modeled pfas settles in the top 14.2% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 13865, 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 1.70 years of 83.1, 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.
