Port Gibson, New York (ZIP 14537), in overall standing, comes out in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,030th) and the bottom 26% of New York (1,280th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: poverty sits at the national minimum, homeownership stands at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled pfas sits in the top 10.1% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 14522, 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 1.33 years of 79.1, 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.
