The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Sunol, California (ZIP 94586) ranks in the top 1.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (591st) and the top 5.3% of California (90th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: household income settles in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 0.7% nationally. Modeled obesity registers in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and recreation rests in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 1.5% nationally, transportation lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and housing insecurity lands in the bottom 2.1% nationally. On the other side, PFOA in drinking water sits at the national maximum, PFOS in drinking water is at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk settles in the top 3.6% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Close by, ZIP 94539, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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
