Obesity
22.7%
in the bottom 2.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST15thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Walkability
160 intersections/sq mi
in the top 4.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST89thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
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 5.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST5thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Loud transportation noise
2.4%
in the top 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST67thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.
Full methodology ›Median household income

ST21stUS5thDefinition & 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 ›Home broadband subscription
97.6%

Higher is healthier
ST86thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 92692, one of several in Mission Viejo, California sits in the top 4.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,496th) and the top 12.4% of California (212th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled obesity registers in the bottom 2.7% nationally, walkability is in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally, household income is in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lies in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled energy burden registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the top 8.4% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, and loud transportation noise registers in the top 5.7% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 92679, just across the boundary. Across other measures, the ZIP also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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

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
