By the composite health measure, ZIP 95206, one of several in Stockton, California ranks in the bottom 13.9% nationally (27,629th) and the bottom 10.4% of California (1,541st).
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled colon screening resides in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the top 0.9% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled uninsured lies in the top 4.7% nationally, crowded housing lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health is in the top 5.7% nationally, extreme heat settles in the top 3.9% nationally, and housing insecurity resides in the top 3.9% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Close by, ZIP 94505, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

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 0.73 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
