ST95thUS88thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Radon

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›The read
Nineveh, New York (ZIP 13813), overall, ranks in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,324th) and the bottom 22% of New York (1,352nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: poverty lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and homeownership stands in the top 6.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles in the top 11.5% nationally. Set against that, crowded housing is in the top 0.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits at the national minimum. Distance to a nursing home lands in the top 8.0% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 13754, 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 1.81 years of 80.8, 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. How distance is measured
