The read
In overall standing, ZIP 33311, one of several in Fort Lauderdale, Florida comes out in the bottom 15% nationally (27,194th) and the bottom 8.2% of Florida (895th).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled short sleep registers in the top 0.6% nationally, humid heat stands in the top 0.7% nationally, and vision disability lands in the top 4.3% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is at the national minimum, modeled self-care disability resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 2.3% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 3.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled uninsured settles in the top 6.0% nationally. On the brighter side, subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 0.7% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

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 0.50 years of 73.4, 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.
