Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Sloughhouse, California (ZIP 95683) places in the top 10.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,299th) and the top 23% of California (390th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and food insecurity is in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Household income lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled transportation registers in the bottom 4.4% nationally, lead in tap water settles at the national minimum, and modeled obesity sits in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 2.5% nationally, fine-particle rests in the top 4.3% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 5.0% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 95630, 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 1.20 years of 82.7, 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
