Full methodology ›The read
Loma Linda, California (ZIP 92354), by its composite score, sits in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,977th) and the top 34% of California (585th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: dental providers stands in the top 3.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Physicians settles in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled obesity sits in the bottom 8.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 2.5% nationally, expected annual loss rests in the top 3.1% nationally, and loud transportation noise resides in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover is at the national minimum, homeownership lands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and modeled extreme heat stands in the top 7.2% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, expected annual loss runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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.

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 0.91 years of 78.3, 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
