An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: household income registers in the top 6.5% nationally, modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally, stroke is in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and high blood pressure lies in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the top 12.1% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk is in the top 2.0% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 9.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 10.0% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, 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 0.92 years of 81.4, 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
