Full methodology ›The read
Villa Grande, California (ZIP 95486), by its overall standing, sits in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,808th) and the top 33% of California (575th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: walkability lies in the top 0.02% nationally, modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum. Poverty registers at the national minimum, home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Modeled tooth loss is in the bottom 1.8% nationally. By contrast, housing-cost burden resides at the national maximum, and outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 1.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure lies in the top 1.7% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 95465, about 0.4 miles away.

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 2.04 years of 79.5, 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
