Full methodology ›The read
Mazama, Washington (ZIP 98833), on the composite measure, lands in the top 11.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,679th) and the top 14.0% of Washington (81st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: park land lies in the top 0.02% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 1.5% nationally, and homeownership stands at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 5.2% nationally. Working the other way, walkability registers in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 1.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 4.0% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 98826, about 25 miles away.

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 2.61 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.
