ST86thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Higher is healthier
ST78thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 33024, one of several in Pembroke Pines, Florida comes out in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,678th) and the top 36% of Florida (350th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 1.1% nationally, outpatient stands in the top 5.5% nationally, and physicians lands in the top 7.8% nationally. Walkability is in the top 7.9% nationally. Set against that, modeled uninsured resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 2.3% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 3.6% nationally, and tree cover sits at the national minimum. Housing-cost burden settles in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 7.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 33021, 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 0.51 years of 79.2, 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.
