Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Keno, Oregon (ZIP 97627) lands in the bottom 34% nationally (21,177th) and the bottom 37% of Oregon (256th).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: modeled fine-particle lies in the top 0.2% nationally, and poverty resides in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the top 8.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 8.6% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Better still, home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 10.7% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 96064, 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 3.69 years of 84.2, 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.
