Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
9.6%
in the top 0.07% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Park land
95.9%
in the top 0.09% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds

Lower is healthier
ST96thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.2 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 3.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST3rdUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
15.0%
in the top 4.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST89thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Air-toxics cancer risk
40 per million
in the top 4.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST73rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
15.1 mi
in the top 8.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the bottom 9.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS10thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›The read
On the coverage assembled to date, for Belden, California (ZIP 95915), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: park land sits in the top 0.09% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 8.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled fine-particle settles in the top 0.07% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 1.8% nationally, and walkability resides in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the top 4.3% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 4.5% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 74.5 yr ± 2.23 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 80.5 yr (76.7–83.8) n=1,665 |
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 2.23 years of 74.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
