The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Kahului, Hawaii (ZIP 96732) places in the top 11.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,789th) and the top 26% of Hawaii (24th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled obesity sits in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 3.5% nationally. Lead in tap water rests at the national minimum, and modeled high blood pressure resides in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled disaster risk lands in the top 1.3% nationally, crowded housing stands in the top 2.7% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the top 8.9% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 8.8% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 96763, about 20 miles away.

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 0.86 years of 81.5, 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.
