Fatal road crashes
99.2 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 0.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Plymouth, California (ZIP 95669) comes out in the bottom 44% nationally (17,891st) and the bottom 33% of California (1,151st).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled pfas sits in the bottom 9.7% nationally, homeownership settles in the top 13.3% nationally, and civic registers in the top 16% nationally. By contrast, fatal road crashes stands in the top 0.5% nationally, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally. Unemployment resides in the top 6.9% nationally, and modeled extreme heat rests in the top 9.4% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 16% nationally.
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. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 95623, 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 1.02 years of 81.5, 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
