The number of child day-care services 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.

Full methodology ›The read
Bonanza, Oregon (ZIP 97623), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,128th) and the bottom 30% of Oregon (285th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled fine-particle sits in the top 0.3% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 7.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 11.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the top 12.3% nationally, walkability lies in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the top 16% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 16% nationally. Better still, childcare is in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled pfas sits in the bottom 14.6% nationally.
In everyday language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 97603, 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 1.60 years of 80.3, 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.
