Floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Hood, California (ZIP 95639) lands in the bottom 45% nationally (17,480th) and the bottom 34% of California (1,129th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: floodplain exposure rests in the top 0.07% nationally, crowded housing registers in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, modeled extreme heat is in the top 5.5% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 6.8% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. More encouragingly, park land lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 95757, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.87 years of 82.2, 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
