Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 34207, one of several in Bradenton, Florida stands in the bottom 27% nationally (23,491st) and the bottom 20% of Florida (777th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: walkability registers in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled uninsured is in the top 4.0% nationally, tree cover registers at the national minimum, and industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the top 9.1% nationally, modeled disaster risk registers in the top 10.4% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 11.1% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 10.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 12.8% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 34203, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.66 years of 77.2, 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.
