On the composite measure, Moro, Oregon (ZIP 97039) stands in the bottom 24% nationally (24,338th) and the bottom 20% of Oregon (326th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and humid heat registers in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 13.5% nationally. By contrast, distance to a nursing home is in the top 3.9% nationally, walkability registers in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 5.7% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lies in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled energy burden is in the top 9.5% nationally.
For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 97065, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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.
