Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Round Mountain, California (ZIP 96084) comes out in the bottom 21% nationally (25,225th) and the bottom 17% of California (1,429th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: floodplain exposure is in the bottom 7.2% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 8.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 10.9% nationally. By contrast, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 0.7% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 2.9% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 4.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol lands in the top 7.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle is in the top 10.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 96008, 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 1.09 years of 79.2, 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
