ST98thUS95thDefinition & source ›
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.

Hamlin, New York (ZIP 14464) ranks in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,267th) and the bottom 45% of New York (944th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lands in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and hearing disability settles in the bottom 17% nationally. On the other side, modeled arsenic rests in the top 5.2% nationally, lead in tap water lands in the top 14.3% nationally, and modeled pfas settles in the top 16% nationally. Unemployment rests in the top 16% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lands in the top 14.9% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 14420, 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 1.15 years of 78.6, 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.
