Overall, Midpines, California (ZIP 95345) places in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,737th) and the bottom 44% of California (957th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 2.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription is at the national maximum. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 1.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the top 14.8% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 95306, about 4.1 miles away.

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 1.28 years of 79.1, 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.
