ZIP 33136, one of several in Miami, Florida, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 40% nationally (19,173rd) and the bottom 32% of Florida (659th).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: modeled uninsured rests in the top 1.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise is in the top 1.1% nationally, and humid heat lands in the top 1.3% nationally. Homeownership stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 1.8% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 0.3% nationally, physicians sits in the top 0.8% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 1.0% nationally. Outpatient rests in the top 1.6% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. 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.

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 1.07 years of 70.7, 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.
