Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 98006, one of several in Bellevue, Washington, by its composite score, sits in the top 0.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (126th) and the top 1.1% of Washington (6th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: household income lies in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled obesity rests in the bottom 0.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability resides in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and independent living disability is in the bottom 0.4% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally, humid heat stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and fair or poor health registers in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 3.0% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 0.70 years of 84.2, 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.
