Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 3.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Nitrate in drinking water
4.6%
in the top 4.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams 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.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
78 mi
in the top 5.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
8.6 days/year
in the bottom 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST24thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Lower is healthier
ST71stUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Walkability
2.1 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 7.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST20thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Park land

Higher is healthier
ST79thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility

Higher is healthier
ST71stUS91stDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 97754, one of several in Prineville, Oregon, on the composite measure, lands in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,784th) and the top 37% of Oregon (149th).
Where this area does well, the measures make it plain: modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and park land stands in the top 8.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 9.3% nationally, and elder services rests in the top 10.9% nationally. Against that, modeled nitrate sits in the top 4.3% nationally, and fine-particle registers in the top 7.7% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 7.9% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 97701, 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 0.72 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.
