Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Playa Vista, California (ZIP 90094) places in the top 1.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (299th) and the top 2.9% of California (49th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled obesity lies in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, energy burden stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and utility shutoff registers in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 0.6% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 90266, about 3.4 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 1.33 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
