ZIP 90034, one of several in Los Angeles, California, by its overall standing, sits in the top 7.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,213th) and the top 17% of California (285th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled high blood pressure stands in the bottom 1.7% nationally, obesity lands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and coronary heart disease is in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability resides in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and stroke rests in the bottom 2.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 0.6% nationally, and expected annual loss sits in the top 1.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 1.8% nationally, and homeownership registers in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise stands in the top 2.3% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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 ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 90035, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Heavy environment, light chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 5.6 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 98.6 (top 10%) — 93 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #18,040 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.
Highest-risk tenth

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 0.49 years of 81.1, 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. How distance is measured
