Overall, Emigrant Gap, California (ZIP 95715) places in the bottom 47% nationally (17,069th) and the bottom 36% of California (1,108th).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: households without a vehicle settles in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled fine-particle sits in the top 1.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 3.3% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled pfas rests in the bottom 0.2% nationally, household income resides in the top 2.7% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Park land lands in the top 1.8% nationally, housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum, and homeownership registers at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum.
Beside the areas that surround it, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 95701, 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 2.71 years of 81.8, 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
