ZIP 90804, one of several in Long Beach, California ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,484th) and the bottom 40% of California (1,033rd).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, and walkability lies in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Working the other way, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 2.2% nationally, modeled loneliness lies in the top 0.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 2.1% nationally, homeownership lies in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 90755, 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 0.84 years of 76.6, 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
