Full methodology ›The read
Blodgett, Oregon (ZIP 97326), in overall standing, comes out in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,849th) and the top 14.1% of Oregon (57th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled pfas settles in the bottom 0.9% nationally, short sleep lands in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and tree cover rests in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and homeownership lands in the top 9.1% nationally. Against that, households without a vehicle rests in the top 4.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 8.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 97370, 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 1.02 years of 78.2, 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.
