On balance, and by the composite measure, Kelseyville, California (ZIP 95451) ranks in the bottom 34% nationally (21,086th) and the bottom 26% of California (1,267th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled radon stands in the bottom 17% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 19% nationally. On the other hand, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 3.0% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 5.0% nationally. Unemployment lands in the top 5.1% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden sits in the top 14.0% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 14.6% nationally, and modeled pfas is in the top 15% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 21% nationally.
In plainer 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 95425, 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 1.20 years of 81.0, 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.
