Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 92705, one of several in Santa Ana, California sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,892nd) and the top 30% of California (511th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: physicians rests in the top 3.4% nationally, outpatient settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and mental-health providers settles in the top 5.4% nationally. On the other hand, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 1.7% nationally, and loud transportation noise rests in the top 3.1% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 3.5% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 92606, 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 0.37 years of 81.0, 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
