A few measures stand out on the ground and lead the picture: distance to a community health center is in the top 0.08% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 0.4% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 1.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.4% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, slow internet speeds sits in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 4.8% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 4.1% nationally.

Beside the areas that surround it, distance to a nursing home runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 97721, just across the boundary.

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. 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.
