Overall, Anderson, California (ZIP 96007) places in the bottom 24% nationally (24,358th) and the bottom 19% of California (1,390th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled fine-particle is in the top 0.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk stands in the top 3.7% nationally, and nitrate registers in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 4.9% nationally, housing-cost burden sits in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled pfas lies in the top 10.8% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 12.2% nationally. More encouragingly, subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 2.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 96001, 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 0.62 years of 75.1, 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
