Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 91601, one of several in North Hollywood, California sits in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,075th) and the top 38% of California (661st).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled high blood pressure lies in the bottom 2.2% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and floodplain exposure is at the national minimum. Modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled transportation noise registers in the top 1.0% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the top 1.6% nationally. Homeownership lies in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 3.7% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 3.9% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 91505, 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 0.60 years of 78.7, 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
