South Dos Palos, California (ZIP 93665), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 6.1% nationally (30,125th) and the bottom 3.8% of California (1,655th).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, modeled vision disability is in the top 1.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides at the national minimum. Poverty rests at the national maximum, modeled uninsured lies in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health sits in the top 1.0% nationally. Homeownership settles at the national minimum, and modeled self-care disability registers in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 1.3% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, home broadband subscription runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 93620, 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 2.25 years of 80.3, 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.
