Port Ludlow, Washington (ZIP 98365), overall, ranks in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,242nd) and the top 22% of Washington (126th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 0.5% nationally, colon screening settles in the top 0.9% nationally, and humid heat is in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Modeled binge drinking sits in the bottom 5.8% nationally, obesity lands in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and cognitive disability lies in the bottom 8.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 3.0% nationally, and hearing disability rests in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 8.3% nationally, and pfas resides in the top 10.9% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 98370, about 1.2 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 1.16 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.
