The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 33597, one of several in Center Hill, Florida sits in the bottom 25% nationally (24,143rd) and the bottom 18% of Florida (795th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled humid heat sits in the top 1.5% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 2.9% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 12.5% nationally. Fatal road crashes resides in the top 13.0% nationally, modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 9.8% nationally, and poverty settles in the top 13.8% nationally. Modeled pfas stands in the top 14.9% nationally, and uninsured is in the top 10.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Better still, park land sits in the top 3.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 33513, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.78 years of 77.5, 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.
