Outer-floodplain exposure
24.5%

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing
13.7%

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 95240, one of several in Lodi, California places in the bottom 34% nationally (21,056th) and the bottom 26% of California (1,264th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 1.7% nationally, and crowded housing stands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 3.3% nationally, and nitrate settles in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 3.9% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled transportation noise resides in the top 5.6% nationally, colon screening is in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and fine-particle lands in the top 6.4% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 95212, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
3 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 0.60 years of 77.2, 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
