The read
Ebro, Florida (ZIP 32437), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 5.1% nationally (30,453rd) and the bottom 1.3% of Florida (962nd).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled pfas sits in the bottom 4.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled self-care disability lies in the top 5.1% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides in the top 3.3% nationally, modeled short sleep is in the top 4.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled stroke stands in the top 4.7% nationally, humid heat registers in the top 4.0% nationally, and coronary heart disease settles in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled mobility disability sits in the top 5.8% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 78.0, 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.
