Full methodology ›The read
Studio City, California (ZIP 91604), by its overall standing, sits in the top 5.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,636th) and the top 13.9% of California (238th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 2.7% nationally, household income rests in the top 4.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum. Modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 3.8% nationally, high blood pressure settles in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 1.1% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the top 5.2% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 90210, 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 81.0, 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
