Full methodology ›The read
Sebastopol, California (ZIP 95472), by its composite score, sits in the top 11.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,761st) and the top 25% of California (433rd).
The clearest bright points in the data come first here: modeled obesity rests in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and civic lands in the top 9.8% nationally. Modeled tooth loss stands in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and transit registers in the top 11.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 5.5% nationally, pfas lies in the top 10.7% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 11.0% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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.

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 0.59 years of 83.3, 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
