The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 33317, one of several in Plantation, Florida, by its overall standing, sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,965th) and the top 33% of Florida (317th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: physicians settles in the top 4.6% nationally, and outpatient registers in the top 4.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Dental providers lands in the top 7.0% nationally, and mental-health providers is in the top 7.8% nationally. By contrast, modeled humid heat resides in the top 0.6% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Modeled uninsured settles in the top 7.2% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 33324, 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 0.79 years of 79.6, 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. How distance is measured
