Overall, Brightwood, Oregon (ZIP 97011) lands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,548th) and the top 25% of Oregon (102nd).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled tree cover rests in the top 2.6% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 5.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 0.2% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 3.8% nationally, distance to a nursing home is in the top 5.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 7.2% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Unemployment registers in the top 9.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise rests in the top 11.1% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 97049, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.99 years of 82.0, 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.
