Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Laie, Hawaii (ZIP 96762) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,723rd) and the bottom 38% of Hawaii (57th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and high blood pressure settles in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and lead in tap water registers at the national minimum. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Set against that, modeled short sleep stands in the top 0.4% nationally, binge drinking lies in the top 1.1% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the top 2.1% nationally. Crowded housing sits in the top 2.1% nationally, and homeownership is in the bottom 5.5% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. Close by, ZIP 96786, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.29 years of 79.8, 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.
