Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 92201, one of several in Indio, California comes out in the bottom 32% nationally (21,864th) and the bottom 25% of California (1,293rd).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: modeled extreme heat settles in the top 0.4% nationally, expected annual loss registers in the top 1.2% nationally, and uninsured stands in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lands in the top 4.8% nationally, tree cover is at the national minimum, and disaster risk resides in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening rests in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and humid heat lies in the top 5.1% nationally. More encouragingly, subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 0.7% nationally, and lead in tap water settles at the national minimum.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 92203, 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 0.59 years of 79.3, 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
