Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 98058, one of several in Renton, Washington ranks in the top 8.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,784th) and the top 10.5% of Washington (61st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and obesity is in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 3.2% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lies in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the bottom 7.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 2.4% nationally, distance to a Superfund site is in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 8.9% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 98038, 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 0.71 years of 81.9, 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.
