What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility

Higher is healthier

ST90th

Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Slow internet speeds

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th

Definition & source ›

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

1.1 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 3.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST6th
US3rd
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

0 ppb

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

US1st
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

8.6%

in the bottom 6.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST20th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Distance to a nursing home

13.5 mi

in the top 6.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST71st
US94th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.

The read

Judged by its overall standing, Ashwood, Oregon (ZIP 97711) sits in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,569th) and the top 32% of Oregon (129th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

A few readings each way define this mixed profile: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 1.9% nationally, modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum, and lead in tap water lies at the national minimum. Modeled pfas registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally, short sleep is in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, slow internet speeds is in the top 2.8% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 6.5% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 97760, about 20 miles away.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.13 years of 77.8, 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.
