Judged by its overall standing, Imbler, Oregon (ZIP 97841) sits in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,726th) and the top 41% of Oregon (168th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and homeownership lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Set against that, distance to a community health center rests in the top 10.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 10.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands in the top 10.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic rests in the top 11.2% nationally. Unemployment settles in the top 13.1% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 97824, 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 1.76 years of 80.5, 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.
