The read

La Habra, California (ZIP 90631), by its composite score, sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,680th) and the top 40% of California (691st).

continue reading

The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled obesity lies in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and dental providers rests in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure resides in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled expected annual loss is in the top 1.4% nationally, fine-particle lands in the top 2.3% nationally, and loud transportation noise stands in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 4.5% nationally, crowded housing settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and modeled disaster risk sits in the top 5.7% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

Findings that name this ZIP

3 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 81.8 ± 1.0 years. A median household income of $104,251 predicts 80.2 years — 1.6 years above.

    Ranked #1,199 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 0.5 (bottom 1%); chronic-disease standing 93.3 (top 10%) — 93 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #18,028 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

    Air toxics and the years between the two ends of the risk scale

    Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is 40.0 cases per million — among the tenth of compared ZIP codes with the most. Estimated life expectancy is 81.8 ± 1.0 years.

    Ranked #504 of the 4,173 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by modeled air-toxics risk, highest first.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 81.8, 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.
