The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
Blue River, Oregon (ZIP 97413), in overall standing, comes out in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,406th) and the top 25% of Oregon (100th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: park land stands in the top 0.05% nationally, transit resides in the top 0.2% nationally, and recreation sits in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and pfas resides in the bottom 3.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 0.08% nationally, and walkability stands in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled fine-particle resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 2.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 3.2% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 97759, 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 1.46 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.
