Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 91210, one of several in Glendale, California sits in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,207th) and the top 47% of California (810th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, and modeled obesity settles in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 0.3% nationally, modeled colon screening is in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 1.8% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water registers at the national maximum. PFOS in drinking water lands at the national maximum, and homeownership resides in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 91203, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.61 years of 79.2, 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.
