The read
Overall, ZIP 33032, one of several in Homestead, Florida lands in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,133rd) and the top 48% of Florida (471st).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 0.3% nationally, and outpatient lies in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled uninsured sits in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled humid heat is in the top 0.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 3.1% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 3.3% nationally, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 7.9% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 8.0% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 33031, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 77.6, 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.
