Groveland, California (ZIP 95321) ranks in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,874th) and the bottom 47% of California (917th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and obesity sits in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 7.3% nationally, and utility shutoff stands in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Working the other way, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 1.7% nationally, walkability resides in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and unemployment stands in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 6.8% nationally, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 7.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center stands in the top 9.3% nationally.
For context, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 95379, 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 1.61 years of 80.7, 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.
