Humid extreme heat
166 days/year
in the top 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST22ndUS98thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
9.7 µg/L
in the bottom 5.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST13thUS5thDefinition & 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 ›Median household income
$131,020
in the top 6.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
1.7%
in the bottom 6.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST17thUS7thDefinition & 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 ›Fair or poor health
14.3%
in the bottom 10.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.8 pCi/L
in the bottom 9.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST31stUS10thDefinition & source ›
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.
Full methodology ›Self-care disability
2.7%
in the bottom 10.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with difficulty dressing or bathing.
Full methodology ›Diabetes

ZIP 32092, one of several in Saint Augustine, Florida, in overall standing, comes out in the top 9.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,998th) and the top 10.3% of Florida (100th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: lithium in drinking water rests in the bottom 5.2% nationally, household income settles in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the top 11.9% nationally, modeled fair or poor health settles in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and modeled independent living disability lands in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled radon settles in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and cognitive disability lands in the bottom 12.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled humid heat rests in the top 2.4% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 32259, 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 0.79 years of 80.6, 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. How distance is measured
