Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Homeland, Florida (ZIP 33847) lands in the bottom 27% nationally (23,431st) and the bottom 21% of Florida (774th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled humid heat lies in the top 1.0% nationally, modeled uninsured stands in the top 7.0% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 9.4% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum, modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and poverty settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled arsenic is in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 8.4% nationally.
Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. On the overall standing, ZIP 33813, about 5.4 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 2.91 years of 80.7, 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.
