Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Opa-locka, Florida (ZIP 33054) comes out in the bottom 16% nationally (26,872nd) and the bottom 9.5% of Florida (882nd).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: modeled uninsured lies in the top 1.5% nationally, vision disability sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the top 0.6% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 1.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled self-care disability is in the top 4.1% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water resides at the national maximum. Modeled short sleep rests in the top 3.0% nationally. More encouragingly, subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 1.0% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 33014, 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 0.73 years of 76.3, 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.
