ZIP 90301, one of several in Inglewood, California, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 36% nationally (20,678th) and the bottom 27% of California (1,255th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled transportation noise lands in the top 0.2% nationally, and loneliness stands in the top 1.0% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 2.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 2.3% nationally, modeled colon screening lies in the bottom 3.9% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 2.9% nationally. More encouragingly, walkability is in the top 1.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 1.9% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 0.92 years of 78.8, 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. How distance is measured
