Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Black Creek, New York (ZIP 14714) lands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,512th) and the bottom 9.7% of New York (1,563rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally, fiber broadband sits in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Against that, home broadband subscription is in the bottom 1.8% nationally, slow internet speeds stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 12.7% nationally. Walkability lies in the bottom 12.8% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 14711, 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 1.29 years of 81.8, 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.
