Housing-cost burden is in the top 1.5% nationally, homeownership lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the top 7.3% nationally, and households without a vehicle lies in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled vision disability registers in the top 8.3% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 32806, 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

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.
