Placerville, California (ZIP 95667), overall, ranks in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,795th) and the top 49% of California (837th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 4.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and dental providers is in the top 10.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 12.1% nationally, and lead in tap water lies in the bottom 12.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and fine-particle rests in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 6.7% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 95623, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.50 years of 78.8, 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
