Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Welches, Oregon (ZIP 97067) stands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,027th) and the top 14.5% of Oregon (59th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled tree cover lies in the top 0.9% nationally, and park land is in the top 1.1% nationally. Elder services registers in the top 2.6% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Dental providers registers in the top 7.9% nationally. Working the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled disaster risk is in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 3.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies in the top 4.7% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 97019, about 2.0 miles away, 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 1.57 years of 81.5, 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.
