Higher is healthier
ST98thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater

in the top 7.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.

Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS76thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
Hines, Oregon (ZIP 97738), overall, ranks in the bottom 22% nationally (25,048th) and the bottom 17% of Oregon (338th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: distance to a community health center resides in the top 0.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home settles in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle is in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled arsenic sits in the top 7.3% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the better side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 4.4% nationally, and pharmacy registers in the top 5.4% nationally. Park land resides in the top 9.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 97820, about 7.3 miles away, comes out healthier overall.

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. 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 0.95 years of 75.6, 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.
