Full methodology ›The read
Geneseo, New York (ZIP 14454), by its overall standing, sits in the top 14.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,640th) and the top 34% of New York (590th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: modeled high blood pressure lands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, modeled diabetes is in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and mental-health providers resides in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 3.9% nationally, physicians lies in the top 4.9% nationally, and transit sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled obesity settles in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 6.2% nationally, and arsenic lands in the top 7.6% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 14414, 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 0.67 years of 82.3, 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
