The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›The read
El Dorado, California (ZIP 95623), by its overall standing, sits in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,451st) and the top 48% of California (822nd).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled obesity lands in the bottom 13.6% nationally, and arsenic is in the bottom 13.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 1.4% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 4.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Crowded housing sits in the top 11.9% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the top 12.0% nationally. Fatal road crashes registers in the top 12.5% nationally, and unemployment stands in the top 13.2% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the top 14.7% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 95682, just across the boundary.

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 1.49 years of 80.5, 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.
