Valyermo, California (ZIP 93563), on the composite measure, lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,337th) and the top 31% of California (541st).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: park land lands in the top 0.3% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and poverty lies at the national minimum. Homeownership settles at the national maximum, home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Working the other way, modeled loneliness rests in the top 2.5% nationally, and binge drinking sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 4.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 6.1% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 91750, about 9.2 miles away.

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 1.52 years of 82.1, 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.
