In its overall standing, Winters, California (ZIP 95694) lands in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,026th) and the top 38% of California (657th).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 10.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and energy burden resides in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled disaster risk settles in the top 5.5% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 6.6% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 8.0% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put 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. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 94558, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.74 years of 81.1, 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
