What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Humid extreme heat

181.7 days/year

in the top 1.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST45th
US98th
Definition & 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 ›

Arsenic in groundwater

1.2%

in the bottom 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST31st
US6th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

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.

Distance to a Superfund site

0.7 mi

in the bottom 6.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST8th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Floodplain exposure

31%

in the top 9.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST47th
US90th
Definition & 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 ›

Unemployment rate

0.56%

in the bottom 16% nationally

The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Combined exposures in this ZIP

More than one environmental exposure stands out in this ZIP. Each is established independently and shown on its own above; they are grouped here for context — not because one causes the other.

The read

On the composite measure, Montverde, Florida (ZIP 34756) stands in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,656th) and the top 43% of Florida (423rd).

continue reading

A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription sits in the top 12.2% nationally, civic resides in the top 12.5% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Unemployment sits in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, modeled humid heat resides in the top 1.7% nationally, distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the top 9.6% nationally. Modeled pfas resides in the top 14.1% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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 34711, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

What’s driving this score

Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts. Compare it against the US, this state and the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL metro area.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.32 years of 76.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
