Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled humid heat sits in the top 2.5% nationally, and mammography is in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the top 3.7% nationally, and uninsured resides in the top 5.5% nationally. Floodplain exposure registers in the top 4.8% nationally. Fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tooth loss stands in the top 10.2% nationally. On the better side, households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 9.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.

A note on the terms: humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 32040, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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

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 2.20 years of 79.2, 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.
