ZIP 33563, one of several in Plant City, Florida ranks in the bottom 23% nationally (24,795th) and the bottom 16% of Florida (819th).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled uninsured sits in the top 2.5% nationally, and humid heat resides in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled pfas stands in the top 1.2% nationally, and vision disability sits in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 9.6% nationally. More positively, modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Physicians resides in the top 6.5% nationally, dental providers stands in the top 8.2% nationally, and pharmacy sits in the top 9.7% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 33565, 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 0.57 years of 75.2, 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.
