In overall standing, Belleview, Florida (ZIP 34420) comes out in the bottom 29% nationally (22,742nd) and the bottom 23% of Florida (754th).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: modeled humid heat registers in the top 1.2% nationally, pfas stands in the top 3.2% nationally, and uninsured lands in the top 10.7% nationally. Lead in tap water is in the top 16% nationally, PFOS in drinking water resides in the top 17% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 17% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Grocery settles in the top 18% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 19% nationally.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 34480, 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 0.54 years of 75.1, 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.
