On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 92562, one of several in Murrieta, California ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,667th) and the top 33% of California (564th).
The measures split the difference for this area: park land lies in the top 2.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 5.4% nationally, dental providers registers in the top 9.2% nationally, and physicians sits in the top 9.2% nationally. Floodplain exposure rests in the bottom 12.2% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the top 10.6% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 0.4% nationally, housing-cost burden settles in the top 9.0% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 12.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 92055, 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 0.65 years of 82.3, 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
