ZIP 33579, one of several in Riverview, Florida ranks in the top 14.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,471st) and the top 18% of Florida (171st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and fiber broadband is in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled stroke registers in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and mobility disability lies in the bottom 9.1% nationally. By contrast, modeled humid heat is in the top 1.0% nationally, expected annual loss registers in the top 5.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 8.3% nationally. PFOS in drinking water is in the top 9.8% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 33572, about 1.4 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

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.
