Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 33473, one of several in Boynton Beach, Florida, on the composite measure, lands in the top 2.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (737th) and the top 1.0% of Florida (9th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled obesity sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally, household income registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the top 1.9% nationally, modeled colon screening lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled energy burden stands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and independent living disability is in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Working the other way, modeled humid heat rests in the top 0.4% nationally, and tree cover sits at the national minimum.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 33327, about 11 miles away.

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 2.67 years of 86.6, 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.
