The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Fairview, Oregon (ZIP 97024) ranks in the bottom 39% nationally (19,462nd) and the bottom 42% of Oregon (237th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 0.9% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 3.2% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled tree cover lands at the national minimum, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Homeownership is in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 8.4% nationally. On the better side, modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 8.3% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Close by, ZIP 97060, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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
Environmental-hazard standing 1.6 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 72.1 — 71 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

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 0.81 years of 77.4, 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
