Full methodology ›The read
Brogan, Oregon (ZIP 97903) ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (26,103rd) and the bottom 11.6% of Oregon (360th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Plainly, the numbers point to a handful of defining readings: slow internet speeds resides in the top 1.4% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the top 3.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits in the top 3.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 3.7% nationally. On the brighter side, housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum, poverty sits at the national minimum, and homeownership resides at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 4.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 97907, 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 1.69 years of 81.1, 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.
