Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: household income rests in the top 1.0% nationally, modeled utility shutoff registers in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 1.6% nationally, food insecurity is in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the bottom 0.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 4.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 5.2% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

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 0.93 years of 86.3, 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. How distance is measured
