Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Cove, Oregon (ZIP 97824) lands in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,401st) and the top 31% of Oregon (126th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: park land sits in the top 1.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 5.7% nationally. Recreation settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and childcare resides in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 8.3% nationally, short sleep rests in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and pfas stands in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 13.2% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 13.6% nationally. Set against that, crowded housing sits in the top 12.7% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 97857, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 1.28 years of 80.0, 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.
