Full methodology ›The read
Pico Rivera, California (ZIP 90660), overall, ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,455th) and the bottom 40% of California (1,031st).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: lead in tap water registers at the national minimum. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the top 2.1% nationally, and loud transportation noise lands in the top 2.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 2.5% nationally, and uninsured stands in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and tree cover registers at the national minimum.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. ZIP 90240, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 80.8 ± 0.9 years. A median household income of $88,201 predicts 79.6 years — 1.2 years above.
Ranked #1,393 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 0.4 (bottom 1%); chronic-disease standing 90.7 (top 10%) — 90 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #17,901 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 80.8 ± 0.9 years.
Ranked #504 of the 4,173 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by modeled air-toxics risk, highest first.

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 0.44 years of 80.8, 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
