Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 98207, one of several in Everett, Washington, overall, ranks in the top 11.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,751st) and the top 14.3% of Washington (83rd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 0.7% nationally, high blood pressure settles in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Childcare sits in the top 1.1% nationally, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Modeled self-care disability stands in the bottom 0.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking rests in the top 0.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 0.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides in the top 3.6% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 98296, about 2.9 miles away, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.50 years of 77.4, 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.
