Elmira, California (ZIP 95625), in overall standing, comes out in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,659th) and the top 33% of California (563rd).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, poverty settles at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Modeled mammography rests in the top 3.4% nationally. On the other hand, modeled transportation noise settles in the top 0.5% nationally, and loud transportation noise lands in the top 0.9% nationally. Homeownership rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 4.5% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum.
Set within its surrounding area, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

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 1.05 years of 78.5, 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
