Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 32828, one of several in Orlando, Florida, in overall standing, comes out in the top 9.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,913th) and the top 9.9% of Florida (96th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: subsidized affordable housing is in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 4.0% nationally, stroke lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and mobility disability registers in the bottom 5.3% nationally. On the other hand, modeled humid heat is in the top 0.7% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 5.9% nationally. PFOS in drinking water registers in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk is in the top 8.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 32832, about 3.0 miles away.

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 0.73 years of 81.9, 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. How distance is measured
