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.

Judged by its overall standing, Campbell, New York (ZIP 14821) sits in the bottom 46% nationally (17,281st) and the bottom 14.0% of New York (1,488th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover rests in the top 15% nationally, and disaster risk settles in the bottom 18% nationally. Against that, crowded housing lands in the top 10.4% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 16% nationally. Childcare lands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Modeled radon rests in the top 21% nationally, poverty settles in the top 23% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 23% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 14870, just across the boundary.

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 0.94 years of 78.4, 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.
