Fatal road crashes

ST98thUS97thDefinition & 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 ›The read
On the composite measure, Westville, Florida (ZIP 32464) stands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,544th) and the bottom 31% of Florida (671st).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the bottom 15% nationally. Working the other way, fatal road crashes lands in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled humid heat settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lands in the top 6.3% nationally, walkability settles in the bottom 9.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 10.6% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lands in the top 12.6% nationally.
For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 32435, about 4.7 miles away, 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 1.07 years of 75.0, 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.
