Full methodology ›The read
Frazier Park, California (ZIP 93225), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 21% nationally (25,341st) and the bottom 16% of California (1,440th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: distance to a nursing home is in the top 3.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 5.4% nationally. Unemployment stands in the top 7.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk settles in the top 9.2% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 9.7% nationally. More encouragingly, park land lies in the top 0.9% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 93040, 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 1.35 years of 76.9, 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
