What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Energy-cost burden

6.9%

in the top 1.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Walkability

2.3 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 9.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST7th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Radon

2.7 pCi/L

in the top 16% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US84th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 17% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US83rd
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Tooth loss

in the top 16% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US84th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 65 and older who have lost all of their natural teeth.

The read

By the composite measure, Clymer, New York (ZIP 14724) sits in the bottom 30% nationally (22,322nd) and the bottom 5.1% of New York (1,643rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled extreme heat registers 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 transportation noise resides in the bottom 12.0% nationally, and disaster risk lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. Working the other way, modeled energy burden settles in the top 1.3% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the top 2.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription is in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 7.3% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the top 16% nationally.

In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 14736, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.13 years of 82.5, 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.
