The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Camano Island, Washington (ZIP 98282) ranks in the top 14.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,653rd) and the top 19% of Washington (110th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and colon screening rests in the top 3.5% nationally. Elder services is in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tooth loss settles in the bottom 8.7% nationally, binge drinking lies in the bottom 13.8% nationally, and cognitive disability resides in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk lands in the top 2.0% nationally, expected annual loss registers in the top 6.0% nationally, and pfas sits in the top 8.3% nationally.
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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 98260, about 0.7 miles away. The area additionally sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 1.20 years of 84.8, 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.
