What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Lead in tap water
100 ppb
in the top 0.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
US99thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
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.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
41.1%
in the top 2.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST89thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

in the bottom 0.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Households without a vehicle
23.2%

Lower is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.

ST89thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 94130, one of several in San Francisco, California sits in the bottom 22% nationally (25,002nd) and the bottom 17% of California (1,419th).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: lead in tap water lies in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and homeownership is at the national minimum. Floodplain exposure lies in the top 2.3% nationally, modeled loneliness registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and households without a vehicle is in the top 3.6% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 3.9% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 5.1% nationally. Modeled transportation is in the top 5.3% nationally. Better still, modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 0.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, lead in tap water runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 94607, about 0.6 miles away.

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

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
