The read

Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 91776, one of several in San Gabriel, California sits in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,942nd) and the top 38% of California (648th).

continue reading

An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled obesity is in the bottom 0.7% nationally, dental providers lies in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, and walkability lies in the top 4.1% nationally. Against that, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and loneliness is in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 2.7% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. 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 91775, just across the boundary.

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 82.6 ± 1.1 years. A median household income of $82,155 predicts 79.3 years — 3.3 years above.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 5.2 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 92.8 (top 10%) — 88 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,735 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

  • Highest-risk tenth

    Air toxics and the years between the two ends of the risk scale

    Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is 40.0 cases per million — among the tenth of compared ZIP codes with the most. Estimated life expectancy is 82.6 ± 1.1 years.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.57 years of 82.6, 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
