In overall standing, Myrtle Point, Oregon (ZIP 97458) comes out in the bottom 17% nationally (26,605th) and the bottom 10.4% of Oregon (365th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled humid heat is in the bottom 1.9% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 6.6% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 4.3% nationally, and stroke settles in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability registers in the top 6.8% nationally, and hearing disability stands in the top 8.0% nationally. Poverty lands in the top 9.4% nationally, and modeled independent living disability is in the top 9.8% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 97411, 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 0.68 years of 76.6, 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.
