Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Azusa, California (ZIP 91702) lands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,906th) and the bottom 47% of California (919th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: park land is in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Set against that, modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, loud transportation noise lies in the top 1.4% nationally, and loneliness stands in the top 1.5% nationally. Crowded housing rests in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled transportation noise resides in the top 5.2% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water settles in the top 5.4% nationally. PFOS in drinking water is in the top 5.5% 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. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. On the overall standing, ZIP 91010, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.49 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
