Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Caneadea, New York (ZIP 14717) lands in the bottom 45% nationally (17,591st) and the bottom 13.5% of New York (1,498th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled tree cover lands in the top 7.5% nationally, and fiber broadband sits in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Homeownership resides in the top 11.5% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, unemployment rests in the top 5.0% nationally, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 8.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lands in the top 14.7% nationally.
A note on the 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 14711, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 0.96 years of 82.2, 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.
