Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Sprague River, Oregon (ZIP 97639) lands in the bottom 13.8% nationally (27,658th) and the bottom 5.5% of Oregon (385th).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: poverty stands at the national maximum, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and diabetes resides in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the top 2.5% nationally. Better still, housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, modeled pfas rests in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and homeownership is at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, poverty runs far higher 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. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 97623, 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 1.76 years of 73.0, 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.
