Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Ardenvoir, Washington (ZIP 98811) lands in the top 14.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,694th) and the top 19% of Washington (111th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum. Poverty registers at the national minimum, and homeownership rests at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled mammography lands in the bottom 4.4% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 5.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking is in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 6.9% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 98826, about 5.2 miles away, 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 2.45 years of 80.1, 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.
