On balance, and by the composite measure, Clio, California (ZIP 96106) ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,934th) and the bottom 44% of California (965th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and colon screening is in the top 1.1% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled binge drinking lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 0.9% nationally, households without a vehicle lands in the top 1.2% nationally, and unemployment registers in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease rests in the top 3.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 96103, 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 2.33 years of 79.9, 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.
