Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Dunnigan, California (ZIP 95937) comes out in the bottom 35% nationally (20,981st) and the bottom 27% of California (1,262nd).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Set against that, unemployment registers in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle is in the top 4.5% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 5.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 6.6% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lies in the top 7.2% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover settles in the bottom 10.9% nationally.
In plain 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 95607, 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 2.57 years of 86.6, 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.
