Flagler Beach, Florida (ZIP 32136), overall, ranks in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,734th) and the top 27% of Florida (262nd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled colon screening registers in the top 1.5% nationally, binge drinking resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and energy burden settles in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Lithium in drinking water is in the bottom 10.7% nationally, modeled cognitive disability sits in the bottom 8.9% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 13.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 0.7% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands in the top 3.7% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 7.7% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". ZIP 32080, about 7.8 miles away, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.07 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.
