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.

ZIP 85310, one of several in Glendale, Arizona, by its composite score, sits in the top 10.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,209th) and the top 9.7% of Arizona (38th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: park land is in the top 3.9% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and housing insecurity registers in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the top 8.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled extreme heat sits in the top 0.6% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum. PFAS in drinking water resides at the national maximum, and lithium in drinking water is in the top 7.1% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 85083, 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 0.62 years of 79.0, 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
