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 civic and social organizations 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 ›The read
Summerland Key, Florida (ZIP 33042) ranks in the top 10.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,216th) and the top 11.4% of Florida (111th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled obesity is in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.0% nationally. Civic lies in the top 5.3% nationally, park land is in the top 5.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the top 10.2% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and energy burden is in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Working the other way, modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 11.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 33036, about 38 miles away.

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 1.68 years of 81.6, 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.
