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.

The read
Overall, ZIP 34758, one of several in Kissimmee, Florida places in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,136th) and the bottom 44% of Florida (550th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled radon stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled uninsured settles in the top 2.9% nationally, humid heat sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and disaster risk lies in the top 2.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 4.5% nationally, housing-cost burden resides in the top 8.7% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the top 12.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Crowded housing stands in the top 16% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 33896, 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 1.48 years of 83.0, 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. How distance is measured
