The read
ZIP 33142, one of several in Miami, Florida ranks in the bottom 11.5% nationally (28,384th) and the bottom 5.4% of Florida (922nd).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled uninsured resides in the top 0.5% nationally, and vision disability stands in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability sits in the top 1.9% nationally, and transportation noise resides in the top 0.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat stands in the top 1.0% nationally, diabetes sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and fair or poor health resides in the top 2.9% nationally.

Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 33010, 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 0.55 years of 75.1, 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.
