Full methodology ›The read
Easton, Washington (ZIP 98925), on the composite measure, lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,121st) and the top 45% of Washington (259th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: park land is in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 4.9% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 5.6% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a community health center resides in the top 3.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lies in the top 4.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 4.7% nationally. Unemployment is in the top 6.0% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 98022, just across the boundary.

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 82.4, 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.
