What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Civic-institution access
1.6 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
27.7%
in the bottom 2.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST10thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
7.4 days/year
in the bottom 4.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST34thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening
73.3%
in the top 6.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
28.2 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 15% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS85thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

In overall standing, Chimacum, Washington (ZIP 98325) comes out in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,962nd) and the top 25% of Washington (143rd).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: civic is in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled colon screening lies in the top 6.5% nationally, obesity sits in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and tree cover settles in the top 17% nationally. Set against that, fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the top 14.8% nationally, and fatal road crashes lands in the top 15% nationally. Lead in tap water is in the top 16% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 98365, 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 1.20 years of 82.6, 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.
