In overall standing, Aumsville, Oregon (ZIP 97325) comes out in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,628th) and the top 28% of Oregon (114th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 7.9% nationally, modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and households without a vehicle registers in the bottom 16% nationally. Homeownership stands in the top 19% nationally, modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 14.2% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 19% nationally. By contrast, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the top 16% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 21% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 97392, 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 0.77 years of 79.8, 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.
