The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
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.

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Hakalau, Hawaii (ZIP 96710) lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,237th) and the bottom 41% of Hawaii (54th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 1.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. Lead in tap water sits at the national minimum, and modeled obesity is in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Homeownership resides in the top 10.5% nationally. Set against that, unemployment registers in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled disaster risk rests in the top 5.4% nationally.
A note on the terms: distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 96728, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs
Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.
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. 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 0.76 years of 79.7, 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.
