Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Chautauqua, New York (ZIP 14722) places in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,914th) and the bottom 38% of New York (1,079th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: walkability sits in the top 0.09% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lies in the bottom 0.8% nationally. Modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the top 1.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 0.6% nationally, high cholesterol stands in the top 0.4% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the top 3.2% nationally, and hearing disability sits in the top 3.0% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 14757, 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 1.26 years of 80.6, 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.
