Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 92107, one of several in San Diego, California, overall, ranks in the top 6.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,959th) and the top 15% of California (263rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled obesity settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally, high blood pressure is in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and diabetes sits in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 3.4% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and lead in tap water stands at the national minimum. Modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Set against that, modeled transportation noise registers in the top 0.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the top 4.6% nationally. Homeownership settles in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 92106, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.73 years of 80.2, 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
