The number of public-transit stops 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.

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 97267, one of several in Portland, Oregon sits in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,712th) and the top 29% of Oregon (117th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 5.7% nationally, transit stands in the top 6.4% nationally, and walkability resides in the top 8.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden stands in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 0.9% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 5.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 10.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 97015, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

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 0.60 years of 79.5, 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.
