The read

By the composite measure, Vinton, California (ZIP 96135) sits in the bottom 25% nationally (24,159th) and the bottom 20% of California (1,377th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: park land registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 0.7% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 2.6% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 3.3% nationally. Walkability stands in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the top 7.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 8.5% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 9.1% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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 community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 96118, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.34 years of 76.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
