Energy-cost burden

ST99thUS99thDefinition & 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.

ST94thUS79thDefinition & 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 ›The read
By the composite health measure, Little Genesee, New York (ZIP 14754) ranks in the bottom 28% nationally (22,984th) and the bottom 4.2% of New York (1,658th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled tree cover stands in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 10.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 15% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 16% nationally. Set against that, modeled energy burden resides in the top 0.8% nationally, unemployment registers in the top 6.6% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 10.1% nationally.
To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Close by, ZIP 14715, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.89 years of 79.4, 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.
