Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, San Bruno, California (ZIP 94066) lands in the top 4.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,381st) and the top 11.5% of California (196th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled obesity lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and household income stands in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 0.8% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 1.7% nationally, and disaster risk sits in the top 5.4% nationally. Crowded housing lands in the top 7.5% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 94010, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.54 years of 81.2, 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
