The read
Judged by its overall standing, Florahome, Florida (ZIP 32140) sits in the bottom 10.1% nationally (28,843rd) and the bottom 4.4% of Florida (932nd).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled humid heat lands in the top 2.3% nationally, coronary heart disease rests in the top 4.7% nationally, and self-care disability settles in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the top 7.8% nationally, poverty rests in the top 8.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability lands in the top 9.3% nationally, and household income rests in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled mobility disability settles in the top 10.3% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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". A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 32043, 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 1.23 years of 74.0, 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.
