In overall standing, Harbor City, California (ZIP 90710) comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,892nd) and the top 41% of California (706th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 3.5% nationally, and walkability stands in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled obesity lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 0.5% nationally, and loneliness resides in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise rests in the top 3.5% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 5.4% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 90501, just across the boundary.

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 0.96 years of 81.0, 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.
