Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 94114, one of several in San Francisco, California ranks in the top 0.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (258th) and the top 2.4% of California (40th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: household income lies in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 0.4% nationally. Walkability sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 0.3% nationally, utility shutoff resides in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and food insecurity registers in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled mobility disability rests in the bottom 1.7% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 0.7% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 2.8% nationally.

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 0.60 years of 81.3, 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. How distance is measured
