Full methodology ›The read
Saint Bonaventure, New York (ZIP 14778), on the composite measure, lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,163rd) and the top 37% of New York (641st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled obesity lies in the bottom 1.8% nationally, fatal road crashes settles at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 0.8% nationally, colon screening rests in the top 1.7% nationally, and expected annual loss sits in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking registers in the top 0.4% nationally, and poverty lands in the top 0.4% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the top 0.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 0.9% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, poverty runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.86 years of 77.2, 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.
