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
41.4%
in the top 5.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST65thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Physician access
2.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 6.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST81stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ 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 6.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS93rdDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Walkability
120 intersections/sq mi
in the top 7.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST13thUS5thDefinition & 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 ›Households without a vehicle
11.5%
in the top 11.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS88thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, ZIP 33705, one of several in St. Petersburg, Florida lands in the top 50% healthiest ZIPs nationally (16,018th) and the bottom 41% of Florida (576th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Physicians rests in the top 6.4% nationally, and walkability is in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled radon settles in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Against that, floodplain exposure lies in the top 5.9% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 6.7% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers in the top 11.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 12.5% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 33701, 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 0.72 years of 75.6, 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. How distance is measured
