In overall standing, Fields, Oregon (ZIP 97710) comes out in the bottom 15.0% nationally (27,272nd) and the bottom 7.7% of Oregon (376th).
The measures that shape daily life here come through in the data: distance to a community health center lies in the top 0.04% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 0.6% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 3.1% nationally. More encouragingly, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 4.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, distance to a nursing home runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 89404, 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 3.42 years of 80.1, 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.
