On the composite measure, ZIP 91303, one of several in Canoga Park, California stands in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,460th) and the bottom 43% of California (985th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: dental providers registers in the top 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 4.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 2.4% nationally, modeled loneliness lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 1.4% nationally. Homeownership registers in the bottom 2.1% nationally, housing-cost burden lies in the top 2.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss is in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 91304, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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

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
