The read
ZIP 32348, one of several in Perry, Florida, in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 19% nationally (26,130th) and the bottom 12.2% of Florida (856th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled humid heat lands in the top 2.3% nationally, floodplain exposure rests in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep settles in the top 6.1% nationally. Modeled uninsured lands in the top 6.9% nationally, slow internet speeds rests in the top 7.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 9.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 14.9% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to a community health center settles at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 11.9% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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". The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 32356, 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 1.26 years of 76.9, 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.
