In its overall standing, Rushford, New York (ZIP 14777) lands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,515th) and the bottom 16% of New York (1,454th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, distance to an emergency room is in the top 5.8% nationally, modeled high cholesterol sits in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 15% nationally.
Put simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 14060, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.92 years of 81.5, 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.
