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.
Humid extreme heat
160.4 days/year
in the top 2.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST16thUS97thDefinition & 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 ›Transportation noise
15.5%
in the top 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.2%
in the bottom 5.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST31stUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
43.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Park land
18.4%
in the top 7.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
1.3 mi
in the bottom 8.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST13thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.8 pCi/L
in the bottom 9.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST31stUS9thDefinition & 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 ›Unemployment rate
1.2%
in the bottom 20% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS20thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 32220, one of several in Jacksonville, Florida ranks in the bottom 30% nationally (22,517th) and the bottom 23% of Florida (748th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and park land settles in the top 7.5% nationally. Lithium in drinking water rests in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled humid heat settles in the top 2.7% nationally, modeled transportation noise rests in the top 4.0% nationally, and fatal road crashes lands in the top 5.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep rests in the top 10.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 32205, 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 0.68 years of 73.1, 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.
