Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 95691, one of several in West Sacramento, California lands in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,279th) and the bottom 46% of California (935th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Modeled obesity stands in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Set against that, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 1.1% nationally, extreme heat lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and fine-particle sits in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 8.5% nationally, crowded housing settles in the top 8.6% nationally, and modeled disaster risk resides in the top 9.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 95612, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.72 years of 77.4, 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
