Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 32826, one of several in Orlando, Florida, by its overall standing, sits in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,682nd) and the top 44% of Florida (427th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 1.8% nationally, high blood pressure lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the bottom 2.3% nationally, diabetes registers in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and hearing disability stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled humid heat is in the top 0.8% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water resides in the top 6.9% nationally. Homeownership rests in the bottom 8.4% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 32765, 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 1.19 years of 79.1, 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.
