The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

ST95thUS87thDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes

Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS75thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Windsor, New York (ZIP 13865) lands in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,813th) and the bottom 38% of New York (1,065th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and tree cover sits in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 15% nationally, and uninsured resides in the bottom 9.1% nationally. By contrast, unemployment registers in the top 13.3% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 13.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle stands in the top 17% nationally. Modeled energy burden lies in the top 13.3% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
A note on the 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 18461, about 6.0 miles away, ranks better 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 0.70 years of 78.9, 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
