Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Cherry Creek, New York (ZIP 14723) lands in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,227th) and the bottom 19% of New York (1,393rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 11.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 13.4% nationally. On the other side, walkability sits in the bottom 8.0% nationally, poverty is in the top 9.8% nationally, and unemployment settles in the top 10.5% nationally. Home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 12.7% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 13.7% 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 14062, 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 1.17 years of 80.0, 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.
