Outer-floodplain exposure
10.6%
in the top 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS91stDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes

in the bottom 11.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS12thDefinition & 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.

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, ZIP 32563, one of several in Gulf Breeze, Florida lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,268th) and the top 21% of Florida (205th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription rests in the top 10.9% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Modeled radon stands in the bottom 10.7% nationally, modeled tooth loss settles in the bottom 14.6% nationally, and recreation lies in the top 18% nationally. Against that, outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 3.6% nationally, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 9.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 10.9% nationally. PFOA in drinking water sits in the top 16% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 32561, 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

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.
