The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Oakfield, New York (ZIP 14125), by its composite score, sits in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,465th) and the bottom 28% of New York (1,250th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The clearest bright points in the data come first here: elder services settles in the top 5.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Pharmacy lies in the top 17% nationally, and modeled extreme heat rests in the bottom 19% nationally. By contrast, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic is in the top 17% nationally, and poverty lands in the top 18% nationally. Physicians stands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare registers at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Homeownership settles in the bottom 21% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

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 1.47 years of 83.2, 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.
