Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Kent, Oregon (ZIP 97033) ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (26,048th) and the bottom 11.8% of Oregon (359th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: walkability resides in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 1.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.2% nationally, and poverty sits in the top 2.6% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the bottom 6.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled pfas stands in the bottom 1.9% nationally, home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
In plainer terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 97001, just across the boundary.

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 1.96 years of 81.7, 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.
