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 ›The read
In overall standing, Plymouth, New York (ZIP 13832) comes out in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,664th) and the bottom 18% of New York (1,412th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled transportation noise sits at the national minimum, and homeownership settles in the top 6.4% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover rests in the top 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 15.0% nationally.
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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 13464, 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 1.20 years of 82.4, 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.
