Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Captiva, Florida (ZIP 33924) sits in the bottom 20% nationally (25,739th) and the bottom 13.1% of Florida (847th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 0.06% nationally, hearing disability rests in the top 0.2% nationally, and stroke sits in the top 0.3% nationally. Modeled diabetes registers in the top 0.9% nationally, high cholesterol lands in the top 0.2% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lies in the top 1.1% nationally, and self-care disability settles in the top 3.0% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and pfas is in the bottom 1.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. ZIP 33922, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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.
