ZIP 94526, one of several in Danville, California, in overall standing, comes out in the top 2.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (733rd) and the top 6.6% of California (113th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: household income settles in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled utility shutoff lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 2.4% nationally, transportation lands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and obesity rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Lead in tap water settles at the national minimum, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 2.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled tooth loss settles in the bottom 1.5% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 94506, just across the boundary. Beyond that, the ZIP also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.92 years of 85.0, 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
