By its overall health score, Collins Center, New York (ZIP 14035) lands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,473rd) and the bottom 49% of New York (877th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the top 3.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Against that, home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 7.7% nationally.

To translate a couple of 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 14141, about 1.2 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 3.14 years of 85.4, 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.
