ST93rdUS99thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

ST81stUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
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 ›Transportation noise
42.9%

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

By the composite measure, ZIP 85007, one of several in Phoenix, Arizona sits in the bottom 20% nationally (25,683rd) and the bottom 25% of Arizona (295th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled extreme heat is in the top 0.2% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled uninsured registers in the top 3.5% nationally, modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, and vision disability settles in the top 7.2% nationally. Better still, transit stands in the top 2.1% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing is in the top 2.6% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 85003, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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

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.
