The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 33548, one of several in Lutz, Florida lands in the top 9.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,936th) and the top 10.0% of Florida (97th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: pharmacy registers in the top 1.9% nationally, physicians resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Recreation is in the top 3.9% nationally, dental providers sits in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled mammography lands in the top 3.6% nationally. Household income lies in the top 7.0% nationally, and modeled obesity stands in the bottom 9.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled humid heat rests in the top 1.4% nationally, and pfas registers in the top 3.7% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. On the overall standing, ZIP 33647, about 2.0 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 1.43 years of 80.8, 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
