The read
ZIP 33170, one of several in Miami, Florida ranks in the bottom 47% nationally (17,065th) and the bottom 38% of Florida (600th).
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled uninsured rests in the top 1.8% nationally, and humid heat lands in the top 0.2% nationally. Modeled vision disability settles in the top 6.3% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 5.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the top 6.0% nationally, modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the top 10.2% nationally, and pfas settles in the top 11.6% nationally. On the brighter side, subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 8.6% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 33031, 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 1.38 years of 78.7, 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.
