Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Woodburn, Oregon (ZIP 97071) places in the bottom 32% nationally (21,682nd) and the bottom 34% of Oregon (269th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled uninsured registers in the top 3.6% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 4.1% nationally, and lead in tap water lies in the top 6.0% nationally. Crowded housing rests in the top 6.8% nationally, modeled obesity resides in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk is in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 12.3% nationally. More encouragingly, subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 8.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 97002, 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 0.81 years of 79.0, 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.
