Our grid samples the county about every 2.3 km, and this ZIP is small enough to sit between two of those points — so the number above is the closest reading to it, not a reading of it. Either way, two houses in this ZIP can sit in different tiers, and the only way to know which is to score the parcel.\n\nZIP 95972 also reaches into Yuba County — postal areas do not stop at county lines. Its Yuba County side measured 76.8 from 1 points.\n\nWhat does your 95972 address score?\n\nThe ZIP number above is a neighbourhood median.
