The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 33023, one of several in Miramar, Florida sits in the bottom 46% nationally (17,286th) and the bottom 38% of Florida (606th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled humid heat is in the top 0.8% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled uninsured registers in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 3.7% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 4.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 4.7% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 3.4% nationally, and walkability is in the top 5.2% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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 33009, 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 0.66 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.
