Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Redmond, Oregon (ZIP 97756) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,709th) and the top 16% of Oregon (67th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 4.6% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing is in the top 8.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Dental providers settles in the top 10.1% nationally, and modeled obesity lies in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Against that, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, disaster risk lands in the top 5.8% nationally, and fine-particle registers in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits in the bottom 11.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to 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 0.53 years of 79.9, 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.
