In its overall standing, Granada Hills, California (ZIP 91344) lands in the top 14.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,736th) and the top 29% of California (504th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled obesity is in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and household income sits in the top 9.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 1.6% nationally, loud transportation noise lies in the top 2.9% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the top 5.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the top 6.8% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the top 8.7% nationally. Lithium in drinking water is in the top 10.2% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. On the overall standing, ZIP 91311, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

Findings that name this ZIP
3 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Above what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 82.0 ± 1.0 years. A median household income of $119,345 predicts 80.8 years — 1.2 years above.
Ranked #1,386 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

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 0.50 years of 82.0, 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
