Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, ZIP 34613, one of several in Brooksville, Florida lands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,722nd) and the bottom 39% of Florida (591st).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled humid heat rests in the top 1.7% nationally, and high cholesterol is in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 2.3% nationally, and hearing disability settles in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled pfas lies in the top 3.8% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled binge drinking resides in the bottom 1.4% nationally, physicians lands in the top 2.1% nationally, and pharmacy registers in the top 3.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Park land rests in the top 6.0% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 34604, 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 0.86 years of 75.5, 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.
