Lower is healthier

ST90th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Lead in tap water

Lower is healthier

Definition & 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.

The read

By the composite health measure, ZIP 93611, one of several in Clovis, California ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,427th) and the top 36% of California (617th).

continue reading

The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: lead in tap water lies at the national minimum, and walkability lands in the top 7.7% nationally. Fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 10.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 0.9% nationally, fine-particle settles in the top 1.0% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 1.2% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 3.7% nationally, modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum, and PFOA in drinking water stands in the top 7.7% nationally. PFOS in drinking water lies in the top 7.9% nationally.

Read against the ZIPs closest to it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Close by, ZIP 93619, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Findings that name this ZIP

2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 3.4 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 87.0 — 84 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,457 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

  • Highest-risk tenth

    Air toxics and the years between the two ends of the risk scale

    Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is 50.0 cases per million — among the tenth of compared ZIP codes with the most. Estimated life expectancy is 80.6 ± 1.2 years.

    Ranked #122 of the 4,173 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by modeled air-toxics risk, highest first.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.62 years of 80.6, 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
