The read
By its overall health score, ZIP 33026, one of several in Pembroke Pines, Florida lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,505th) and the top 22% of Florida (215th).
The measures split the difference for this area: physicians lies in the top 1.7% nationally, and dental providers resides in the top 2.2% nationally. Outpatient lands in the top 3.5% nationally, and walkability registers in the top 7.3% nationally. Modeled obesity sits in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Against that, modeled humid heat rests in the top 0.6% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 1.4% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 2.0% nationally. Floodplain exposure settles in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 33028, 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 0.88 years of 83.3, 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.
