US1stDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Utility shut-off threat

The estimated share of adults whose household was threatened with a utility shut-off in the past 12 months.

in the bottom 2.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Park land

ST75thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Higher is healthier
ST79thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden

Lower is healthier

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Laguna Niguel, California (ZIP 92677) lands in the top 4.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,514th) and the top 12.7% of California (217th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and household income registers in the top 5.1% nationally. Lead in tap water rests at the national minimum, and modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally, park land lands in the top 9.1% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Set against that, housing-cost burden settles in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 9.8% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 92651, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.52 years of 82.4, 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
