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.

Overall, Klickitat, Washington (ZIP 98628) lands in the bottom 37% nationally (20,121st) and the bottom 17% of Washington (485th).
Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: distance to a nursing home settles in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled mammography resides in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 10.6% nationally. More encouragingly, civic stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 10.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 10.8% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, civic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 98613, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.84 years of 79.5, 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.
