Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Sisters, Oregon (ZIP 97759) places in the top 9.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,910th) and the top 1.5% of Oregon (6th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 0.09% nationally, and park land is in the top 1.1% nationally. Recreation lands in the top 4.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled obesity registers in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and humid heat settles in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 3.6% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 6.7% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 9.7% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Among the ZIPs nearby, none ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.77 years of 81.2, 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. How distance is measured
