Full methodology ›The read
Otter Rock, Oregon (ZIP 97369), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 32% nationally (21,893rd) and the bottom 32% of Oregon (277th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled coronary heart disease resides in the top 0.7% nationally, unemployment lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and poverty settles in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled stroke stands in the top 2.8% nationally, diabetes is in the top 3.1% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 3.0% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and pfas lands in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled binge drinking resides in the bottom 0.9% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 97341, 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 1.43 years of 78.1, 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.
