Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 96819, one of several in Honolulu, Hawaii comes out in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,166th) and the bottom 33% of Hawaii (62nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: park land registers in the top 3.7% nationally, subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 3.9% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Lead in tap water is at the national minimum. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled short sleep rests in the top 0.3% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 2.6% nationally, and loud transportation noise settles in the top 3.3% nationally. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 4.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 96701, 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 0.51 years of 80.6, 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.
