The read
Overall, ZIP 33144, one of several in Miami, Florida places in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,134th) and the top 46% of Florida (445th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: outpatient settles in the top 0.2% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 1.1% nationally. Pharmacy lies in the top 1.4% nationally, and physicians rests in the top 1.8% nationally. Walkability resides in the top 3.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled uninsured is in the top 0.9% nationally, humid heat lands in the top 0.5% nationally, and vision disability stands in the top 4.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden registers in the top 2.9% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water settles in the top 4.6% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, outpatient runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 33155, 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 0.62 years of 83.4, 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.
