The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Old Town, Florida (ZIP 32680) ranks in the bottom 8.8% nationally (29,253rd) and the bottom 3.7% of Florida (938th).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: modeled humid heat resides in the top 2.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled stroke rests in the top 6.9% nationally, mobility disability is in the top 7.5% nationally, and hearing disability stands in the top 8.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 9.2% nationally. Better still, modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 8.3% nationally.
In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 32008, 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 0.76 years of 74.3, 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.
