ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Mosier, Oregon (ZIP 97040) sits in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,935th) and the top 38% of Oregon (155th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: elder services settles in the top 1.3% nationally, home broadband subscription lands in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 13.9% nationally, unemployment lands in the bottom 17% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 17% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 18% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 8.3% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 15% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 97031, 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 1.58 years of 76.7, 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.
