Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Oakridge, Oregon (ZIP 97463) lands in the bottom 4.5% nationally (30,631st) and the bottom 0.3% of Oregon (407th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled fine-particle is in the top 1.3% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the top 2.6% nationally, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 2.8% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled self-care disability registers in the top 5.4% nationally. On the better side, park land resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 2.6% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. On the overall standing, ZIP 97492, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.51 years of 77.9, 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.
