Ontario, New York (ZIP 14519), on the composite measure, lands in the top 12.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,958th) and the top 30% of New York (513th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability resides in the bottom 11.4% nationally, fair or poor health lies in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and uninsured settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 14.3% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing is in the top 16% nationally. Modeled diabetes rests in the bottom 13.8% nationally, and colon screening sits in the top 16% nationally. Modeled vision disability registers in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and high blood pressure lands in the bottom 17% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 14502, 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

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.
