Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

in the top 4.2% nationally
Lower is healthier

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.

Lower is healthier
ST86thUS95thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
1.7 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 6.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Walkability
130 intersections/sq mi
in the top 6.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

in the bottom 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Stroke

in the bottom 12.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST10thUS12thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have had a stroke.

Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 97008, one of several in Beaverton, Oregon, on the composite measure, lands in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,097th) and the top 11.8% of Oregon (48th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: fatal road crashes is in the bottom 6.1% nationally, walkability rests in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 2.4% nationally, and loud transportation noise resides in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled transportation noise stands in the top 10.3% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 10.5% nationally.
In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 97007, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Heavy environment, light chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

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 0.48 years of 79.8, 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
