In overall standing, ZIP 90065, one of several in Los Angeles, California comes out in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,616th) and the top 43% of California (739th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 6.8% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 1.2% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and expected annual loss sits in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and transportation noise registers in the top 3.4% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled loneliness lands in the top 4.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle resides in the top 5.2% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 90039, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
4 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.
Above what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 83.3 ± 1.3 years. A median household income of $94,784 predicts 79.9 years — 3.4 years above.

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 0.67 years of 83.3, 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
