What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Colon-cancer screening

77.9%

in the top 0.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Full methodology ›

Recreation access

1.7 per 1,000 residents

in the top 2.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Cognitive disability

in the bottom 2.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Lithium in drinking water

9.6 µg/L

in the bottom 4.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST11th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

1.2%

in the bottom 1.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST2nd
US2nd
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Civic-institution access

0.85 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Humid extreme heat

146.2 days/year

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

The read

Judged by its overall standing, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida (ZIP 32082) sits in the top 2.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (772nd) and the top 1.1% of Florida (10th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled colon screening rests in the top 0.7% nationally, recreation settles in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 2.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 3.3% nationally, park land settles in the top 4.5% nationally, and lithium in drinking water lands in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and civic settles in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled obesity lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Against that, modeled humid heat rests in the top 5.7% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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

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.
