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.

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.

On balance, and by the composite measure, Pine City, New York (ZIP 14871) ranks in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,439th) and the bottom 25% of New York (1,297th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 14.0% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 16% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 6.6% nationally, modeled radon is in the top 12.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room stands in the top 12.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 17% nationally. Recreation lies at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 14830, 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 0.95 years of 80.3, 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.
