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

83.7%

in the top 0.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US99th
Definition & 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.

Park land

Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Dental provider access

in the top 8.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST86th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 9.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US91st
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Expected annual disaster loss

in the top 10.4% nationally

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

The read

ZIP 33702, one of several in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the composite measure, lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,004th) and the top 45% of Florida (443rd).

continue reading

The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: park land registers in the top 7.1% nationally, and dental providers lands in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home settles at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Grocery stands in the top 13.8% nationally. Working the other way, floodplain exposure is in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 9.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 10.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 12.3% nationally.

Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 33703, just across the boundary.

    The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes

    Estimated life expectancy is 76.6 ± 1.0 years. A median household income of $67,463 predicts 78.5 years — 1.9 years below.

    Ranked #2,509 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.52 years of 76.6, 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.
