Full methodology ›The read
On the measures available for this ZIP, for Termo, California (ZIP 96132), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
So far as the data reaches, a few readings can be drawn: housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum. Homeownership lands at the national maximum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the bottom 5.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 0.9% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 2.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 3.5% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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.

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 1.01 years of 76.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
