Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 32818, one of several in Orlando, Florida, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 33% nationally (21,565th) and the bottom 26% of Florida (720th).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: modeled short sleep resides in the top 0.5% nationally, and humid heat is in the top 1.6% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled uninsured stands in the top 6.8% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 7.5% nationally, unemployment settles in the top 8.2% nationally, and modeled vision disability sits in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 8.4% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled binge drinking resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 0.71 years of 77.6, 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.
