In overall standing, ZIP 90731, one of several in San Pedro, California comes out in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,449th) and the bottom 40% of California (1,030th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 4.7% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 1.3% nationally, loneliness lands in the top 2.8% nationally, and colon screening is in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 3.5% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, and crowded housing sits in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 7.0% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the top 7.0% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 90275, just across the boundary.

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 78.9, 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.
