ZIP 97006, one of several in Beaverton, Oregon, overall, ranks in the top 12.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,962nd) and the top 3.5% of Oregon (14th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally, subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 4.0% nationally, high cholesterol sits in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and stroke lands in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Walkability lies in the top 6.3% nationally, and modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 2.3% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 4.6% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 97124, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.79 years of 83.9, 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. How distance is measured
