Higher is healthier
ST97thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Silverton, Oregon (ZIP 97381) lands in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,776th) and the top 36% of Oregon (148th).
The measures split the difference for this area: distance to an emergency room rests at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and grocery stands in the top 8.4% nationally. Childcare settles in the top 11.0% nationally, elder services lies in the top 12.6% nationally, and modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Physicians lands in the top 16% nationally. Against that, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 0.5% nationally, disaster risk sits in the top 11.5% nationally, and obesity rests in the top 11.7% nationally.
To translate a couple of 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 97375, 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 79.3, 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.
