On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 32305, one of several in Tallahassee, Florida ranks in the bottom 26% nationally (23,785th) and the bottom 19% of Florida (787th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled humid heat sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and short sleep rests in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled pfas is in the top 5.0% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 9.3% nationally. Modeled self-care disability settles in the top 9.7% nationally, and vision disability lies in the top 10.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, park land resides in the top 4.1% nationally, mental-health providers lands in the top 10.4% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 10.5% nationally. Grocery sits in the top 11.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 32301, 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 0.80 years of 74.1, 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.
