The read
Cedar Key, Florida (ZIP 32625), overall, ranks in the bottom 23% nationally (24,590th) and the bottom 17% of Florida (811th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: distance to an emergency room is in the top 1.3% nationally, floodplain exposure sits in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 2.3% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the top 2.3% nationally, modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability registers in the top 6.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 7.5% nationally. On the brighter side, civic settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 5.5% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. 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. ZIP 32626, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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.
