What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Floodplain exposure
81.9%
in the top 1.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
185.4 days/year
in the top 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST56thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Park land
26.5%
in the top 5.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 4.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST14thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
15.8%
in the top 9.6% nationally

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

The share of households with no vehicle available.

Combined exposures in this ZIP
More than one environmental exposure stands out in this ZIP. Each is established independently and shown on its own above; they are grouped here for context — not because one causes the other.
This area ranks among the highest 10% of US ZIP codes for both humid-heat days and flood exposure.

The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 33635, one of several in Tampa, Florida stands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,515th) and the top 31% of Florida (300th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: park land is in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lies in the bottom 4.7% nationally, energy burden is in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Modeled stroke lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. On the other side, floodplain exposure is in the top 1.1% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled uninsured lies in the top 9.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 12.8% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 33625, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.28 years of 81.0, 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.
