In its overall standing, Pittsburg, California (ZIP 94565) lands in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,851st) and the bottom 44% of California (961st).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 0.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 1.0% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 3.7% nationally. Crowded housing resides in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled loneliness settles in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 5.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and housing insecurity lies in the top 9.9% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, subsidized affordable housing 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. On the overall standing, ZIP 94517, 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 0.47 years of 78.4, 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
