Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Loomis, Washington (ZIP 98827) ranks in the bottom 29% nationally (22,770th) and the bottom 10.5% of Washington (520th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: housing-cost burden lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 3.7% nationally, and mammography is in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Homeownership settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and modeled hearing disability resides in the top 7.0% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 6.6% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Close by, ZIP 98819, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.25 years of 79.3, 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.
