Air-toxics cancer risk
50 per million
in the top 0.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
100%
at the national maximum
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the bottom 4.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS5thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.4%
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST74thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
62.9%
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
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 ›Energy-cost burden
1.6%
in the bottom 5.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST11thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, for Wilbur, Oregon (ZIP 97494), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: fiber broadband sits at the national maximum, and floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and energy burden sits in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 18% nationally, and modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 19% nationally. By contrast, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 0.9% nationally, fine-particle stands in the top 6.9% nationally, and pfas sits in the top 6.9% nationally.
For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard.

Life expectancyNCHS / RWJF USALEEP · model-based
| Measure | Value | US median (p10–p90) | OR median (p10–p90) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 75.6 yr ± 1.15 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 79.1 yr (76.4–82.0) n=409 |
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 1.15 years of 75.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
