Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
87.7 mi
in the top 0.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
1.8 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›The read
Key West, Florida (ZIP 33040), on the composite measure, lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,021st) and the top 20% of Florida (194th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 0.4% nationally, recreation rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 3.3% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 3.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 8.2% nationally. On the other hand, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 2.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 4.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds stands in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the top 5.5% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 33042, 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 0.94 years of 78.7, 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.
