Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: poverty resides in the top 0.5% nationally, and crowded housing lands in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 1.1% nationally, and stroke sits in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled mobility disability rests in the top 1.7% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the top 1.1% nationally, and household income stands at the national minimum. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 0.9% nationally.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 95925, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.71 years of 76.9, 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.
