Humid extreme heat
184 days/year
in the top 1.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST51stUS99thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
54.2%
in the top 3.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST80thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Park land
35.4%
in the top 3.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband

in the top 6.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
2.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 7.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS8thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
57.2%
in the top 9.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST63rdUS91stDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate
10.2%
in the top 9.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›Independent-living disability
5.8%
in the bottom 7.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have difficulty doing errands alone, such as visiting a doctor’s office, because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
1.8%
in the bottom 8.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST22ndUS9thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Fair or poor health
14.3%
in the bottom 10.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.

The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 34637, one of several in Land O Lakes, Florida stands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,195th) and the top 20% of Florida (199th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: park land registers in the top 3.9% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 6.8% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and modeled independent living disability registers in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and obesity is in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled humid heat registers in the top 1.5% nationally, floodplain exposure lies in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled pfas is in the top 9.2% nationally. Unemployment registers in the top 9.2% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 34638, 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 1.17 years of 80.3, 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.
