The read
Overall, Williamson, New York (ZIP 14589) places in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,312th) and the top 44% of New York (766th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing is in the top 17% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 18% nationally. Recreation stands in the top 19% nationally, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 20% nationally, and modeled uninsured settles in the bottom 11.7% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the top 20% nationally. On the other hand, modeled pfas lies in the top 14.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle resides in the top 23% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, 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. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 14519, 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 1.60 years of 80.9, 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.
