Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Redwood Valley, California (ZIP 95470) lands in the bottom 14.5% nationally (27,420th) and the bottom 10.8% of California (1,534th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: elder services rests in the top 9.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled self-care disability registers in the top 6.8% nationally, fine-particle resides in the top 6.1% nationally, and fair or poor health settles in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled independent living disability is in the top 7.5% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled vision disability lands in the top 9.6% nationally, and transportation lies in the top 9.8% nationally. Poverty stands in the top 10.2% nationally, and modeled pfas rests in the top 10.4% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 95469, 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 1.67 years of 78.3, 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. How distance is measured
