In its overall standing, Philo, California (ZIP 95466) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,860th) and the top 49% of California (840th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: modeled tree cover lands in the top 3.9% nationally, pfas lies in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 10.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Set against that, crowded housing resides in the top 3.0% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability is in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and poverty sits in the top 10.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands in the top 12.0% nationally.
Put simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. On the overall standing, ZIP 95410, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.11 years of 80.0, 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.
