ST99th

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.

Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled colon screening settles in the top 0.3% nationally, and cognitive disability sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and short sleep rests in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 8.9% nationally, physicians is in the top 7.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Outpatient stands in the top 7.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, floodplain exposure registers in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 0.5% nationally.

Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 33706, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Clean environment, heavy chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 92.1 (top 10%); chronic-disease standing 25.6 — 67 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #1,296 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, 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

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.
