Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Ewa Beach, Hawaii (ZIP 96706) lands in the top 11.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,731st) and the top 25% of Hawaii (23rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled obesity registers in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and lead in tap water resides at the national minimum. Household income settles in the top 7.1% nationally. Set against that, modeled short sleep is in the top 0.5% nationally, and disaster risk sits in the top 2.0% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 2.3% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 4.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 6.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. On the overall standing, ZIP 96797, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.61 years of 80.3, 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.
