By its overall health score, Adin, California (ZIP 96006) lands in the bottom 29% nationally (22,648th) and the bottom 23% of California (1,323rd).
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: modeled fine-particle lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 3.8% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 6.4% nationally. On the stronger side, park land sits in the top 5.1% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 96009, 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 2.21 years of 82.0, 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.
