By its overall health score, The Dalles, Oregon (ZIP 97058) lands in the bottom 40% nationally (19,128th) and the bottom 43% of Oregon (230th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures split the difference for this area: distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Dental providers registers in the top 8.5% nationally, and elder services sits in the top 10.7% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers is in the top 11.4% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 12.0% nationally. Against that, distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 8.2% nationally. Unemployment lands in the top 11.3% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 97021, 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 0.66 years of 77.0, 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.
