The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Albion, New York (ZIP 14411), overall, ranks in the bottom 39% nationally (19,521st) and the bottom 9.6% of New York (1,564th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers lies in the top 14.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 16% nationally. Set against that, modeled arsenic rests in the top 4.0% nationally, and households without a vehicle registers in the top 13.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity settles in the top 14.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 15% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 17% nationally.
Defined simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 14058, 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 0.66 years of 79.9, 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.
