In overall standing, North Hills, California (ZIP 91343) comes out in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,777th) and the bottom 42% of California (1,001st).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 3.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 1.2% nationally, expected annual loss lies in the top 1.3% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the top 1.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally, and tree cover resides at the national minimum.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 91325, 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 0.67 years of 79.9, 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. How distance is measured
