On balance, and by the composite measure, Boonville, California (ZIP 95415) ranks in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,617th) and the bottom 50% of California (864th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: civic lies in the top 8.2% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the top 10.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Lead in tap water registers in the bottom 12.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the bottom 13.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle rests in the top 8.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the top 8.6% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Homeownership settles in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 12.4% nationally.
In plainer terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.10 years of 77.9, 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.
