Humid extreme heat
214.4 days/year
in the top 0.10% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Floodplain exposure
65.1%
in the top 2.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST88thUS98thDefinition & 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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 5.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS5thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
76.9 mi
in the top 5.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS93rdDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Park land

Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband

ST96thUS84thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
4.4 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 17% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS17thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

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
Overall, ZIP 33914, one of several in Cape Coral, Florida places in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,356th) and the top 34% of Florida (336th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 5.5% nationally. Park land is in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled humid heat stands in the top 0.10% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits in the bottom 10.3% nationally, housing-cost burden lies in the top 12.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 14.1% 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, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 33908, 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 0.69 years of 80.4, 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.
