The read

By the composite measure, Marion, New York (ZIP 14505) sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,069th) and the bottom 46% of New York (929th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Where this area does well, the measures make it plain: modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Poverty is in the bottom 19% nationally, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 19% nationally. Modeled uninsured sits in the bottom 12.7% nationally. Against that, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle resides in the top 18% nationally. Childcare lies at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas settles in the top 22% nationally.

In plain language, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. ZIP 14519, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.43 years of 80.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
