Full methodology ›The read
Nyssa, Oregon (ZIP 97913) ranks in the bottom 14.2% nationally (27,520th) and the bottom 6.7% of Oregon (380th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: crowded housing resides in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled uninsured stands in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled arsenic sits in the top 3.7% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and fair or poor health sits in the top 9.1% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled loneliness resides at the national minimum, modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally.
For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83619, 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 0.82 years of 78.4, 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.
