Overall, Kaaawa, Hawaii (ZIP 96730) places in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,160th) and the top 36% of Hawaii (33rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: transit lands in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Household income registers in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 9.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled short sleep lies in the top 1.9% nationally, housing-cost burden rests in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled binge drinking resides in the top 3.9% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 96744, 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 1.45 years of 79.1, 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.
