Full methodology ›The read
Mossyrock, Washington (ZIP 98564), overall, ranks in the bottom 41% nationally (19,053rd) and the bottom 21% of Washington (459th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled pfas lies in the bottom 4.2% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 4.4% nationally, and fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 10.9% nationally, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and outpatient settles in the top 12.3% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 13.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled mammography sits in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 2.8% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 11.0% 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. 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 98585, just across the boundary, 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 1.80 years of 79.9, 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.
