Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Rescue, California (ZIP 95672) lands in the top 12.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,978th) and the top 26% of California (448th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: household income is in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled obesity settles in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and food insecurity lies in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally, transportation lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and tooth loss registers in the bottom 4.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 2.0% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 8.6% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 95762, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

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 1.20 years of 81.9, 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
