Full methodology ›The read
Molino, Florida (ZIP 32577), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 41% nationally (18,860th) and the bottom 33% of Florida (653rd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 20% nationally, and radon sits in the bottom 23% nationally. Working the other way, modeled humid heat registers in the top 4.9% nationally, distance to a nursing home lands in the top 12.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the top 13.4% nationally. Modeled pfas lies in the top 15% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 19% nationally. Physicians stands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare is at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 21% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 32533, 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 1.02 years of 74.6, 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.
