Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Trinidad, California (ZIP 95570) lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,213th) and the top 42% of California (722nd).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and tree cover sits in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to a nursing home is in the top 5.1% nationally, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 5.7% nationally, and unemployment settles in the top 7.1% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 7.6% nationally, and loud transportation noise resides in the top 9.4% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas registers in the top 11.8% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of 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. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 95524, about 11 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 1.79 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.
