Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 92118, one of several in Coronado, California sits in the top 4.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,538th) and the top 12.8% of California (220th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled obesity rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally, humid heat settles in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and utility shutoff lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Household income rests in the top 6.1% nationally, modeled diabetes settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and dental providers lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 1.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands at the national minimum, and disaster risk rests in the top 5.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 92155, 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 0.84 years of 86.5, 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
