The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 94014, one of several in Daly City, California sits in the top 6.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,058th) and the top 16% of California (272nd).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled obesity registers in the bottom 1.7% nationally, subsidized affordable housing is in the top 6.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled energy burden registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Against that, modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 3.4% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the top 8.4% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 94005, 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 0.70 years of 82.9, 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
