Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Pacific, Washington (ZIP 98047) ranks in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,461st) and the top 46% of Washington (268th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and hearing disability stands in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 7.7% nationally, obesity lies in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and diabetes resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled disaster risk registers in the top 1.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the top 7.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, expected annual loss runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 ZIP overall, look to ZIP 98001, 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 1.40 years of 76.4, 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.
