In its overall standing, Christmas Valley, Oregon (ZIP 97641) lands in the bottom 11.7% nationally (28,329th) and the bottom 3.5% of Oregon (393rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: distance to a nursing home lies in the top 0.8% nationally, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 2.4% nationally, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 2.7% nationally, and unemployment settles in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 4.7% nationally, and crowded housing sits in the top 6.4% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. 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 community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. On the overall standing, ZIP 97638, 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 2.02 years of 80.2, 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.
