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 ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 33033, one of several in Homestead, Florida ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,493rd) and the bottom 43% of Florida (556th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 0.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled uninsured sits in the top 1.1% nationally, distance to a Superfund site is at the national minimum, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 2.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and modeled vision disability rests in the top 6.6% nationally. PFOS in drinking water stands in the top 5.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 8.1% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Close by, ZIP 33031, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.81 years of 79.4, 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.
