The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
Sheridan, Oregon (ZIP 97378), by its overall standing, sits in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,845th) and the top 37% of Oregon (151st).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled pfas is in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and energy burden lies in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 18% nationally. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site registers at the national minimum, and modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the top 17% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 18% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 97128, 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 0.98 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.
