Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 91316, one of several in Encino, California lands in the top 13.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,331st) and the top 28% of California (473rd).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled obesity stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and outpatient lies in the top 3.7% nationally. Dental providers lands in the top 4.2% nationally, and mental-health providers sits in the top 5.4% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 0.5% nationally, housing-cost burden resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled transportation noise registers in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 7.2% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 90049, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.51 years of 81.5, 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
