On balance, and by the composite measure, Marblemount, Washington (ZIP 98267) ranks in the bottom 34% nationally (21,140th) and the bottom 14.3% of Washington (498th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: walkability rests in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 1.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the top 2.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 3.9% nationally. On the stronger side, park land resides in the top 0.7% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the top 5.0% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 7.6% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

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 1.29 years of 76.2, 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.
