Humid extreme heat
185.6 days/year
in the top 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST57thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
83%
in the top 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the top 5.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS95thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Subsidized affordable housing
428 units
in the top 5.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST86thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
17.8%
in the top 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST76thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the top 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Floodplain exposure
31.8%
in the top 9.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST49thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
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.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
41.9%
in the top 9.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST87thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.8 pCi/L
in the bottom 8.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST27thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
11 days/year
in the top 34% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS66thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

The read
ZIP 32703, one of several in Apopka, Florida, in overall standing, comes out in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,574th) and the bottom 48% of Florida (511th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled humid heat lies in the top 1.3% nationally, and pfas registers in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk is in the top 5.3% nationally, and uninsured lies in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 6.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the top 9.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 10.8% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 32712, 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 0.68 years of 78.6, 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.
