Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Farmington, California (ZIP 95230) places in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,790th) and the bottom 42% of California (1,003rd).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: poverty registers at the national minimum, and household income settles in the top 7.4% nationally. Pulling the other way, walkability sits in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the top 3.4% nationally, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 3.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled nitrate lands in the top 4.1% nationally, extreme heat stands in the top 4.5% nationally, and loud transportation noise registers in the top 7.7% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 95228, just across the boundary.

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 0.70 years of 79.0, 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
