The read
In its overall standing, Immokalee, Florida (ZIP 34142) lands in the bottom 20% nationally (25,723rd) and the bottom 13.3% of Florida (845th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled uninsured is in the top 0.5% nationally, disaster risk sits at the national maximum, and humid heat lands in the top 0.05% nationally. Modeled vision disability lies in the top 2.9% nationally, floodplain exposure stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 1.1% nationally.

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.
