On the composite measure, ZIP 34614, one of several in Brooksville, Florida stands in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,234th) and the top 46% of Florida (448th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: homeownership lies in the top 8.3% nationally, and park land is in the top 10.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 11.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the top 14.9% nationally. Modeled radon is in the bottom 16% nationally, transportation noise registers in the bottom 19% nationally, and energy burden lies in the bottom 18% nationally. By contrast, modeled humid heat is in the top 1.8% nationally, and pfas registers in the top 19% nationally. Childcare lies at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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 34609, about 3.4 miles away, 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 1.25 years of 77.1, 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.
