continue reading

Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: household income sits in the top 4.9% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 4.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Poverty resides in the bottom 7.7% nationally. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 1.6% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 2.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 7.1% nationally, and lead in tap water sits in the top 7.1% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 93667, less than a tenth of a mile away, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.29 years of 80.0, 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.
