Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Mount Shasta, California (ZIP 96067) lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,238th) and the top 47% of California (812th).
The measures split the difference for this area: civic stands in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Park land lies in the top 2.4% nationally, and physicians resides in the top 2.9% nationally. Elder services lands in the top 5.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Pharmacy sits in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover rests in the top 9.6% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle is in the top 0.2% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 1.3% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, civic 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 96073, about 40 miles away.

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

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
