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.

ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Lower is healthier
ST41stUS8thDefinition & 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 ›Hearing disability
5.2%
in the bottom 8.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

in the bottom 6.9% 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 ›Coronary heart disease
4.9%

The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have coronary heart disease or angina.

The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have had a stroke.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.8 pCi/L
in the bottom 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST19thUS6thDefinition & 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 ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 32258, one of several in Jacksonville, Florida stands in the top 15.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,804th) and the top 19% of Florida (188th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: park land lands in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and energy burden lands in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 8.7% nationally, physicians rests in the top 10.9% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the bottom 8.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled humid heat rests in the top 2.4% nationally, and loud transportation noise lands in the top 11.6% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 32256, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.61 years of 80.2, 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.
