Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Seal Rock, Oregon (ZIP 97376) sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,735th) and the top 47% of Oregon (191st).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 5.1% nationally, disaster risk sits in the top 5.5% nationally, and loud transportation noise registers in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the top 8.9% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and park land lies in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 3.7% nationally, and pfas stands in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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. 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. ZIP 97365, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.50 years of 77.1, 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.
