Fatal road crashes

Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Roslyn, Washington (ZIP 98941) lands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,917th) and the bottom 47% of Washington (306th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: fatal road crashes lands at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and fiber broadband rests in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 2.1% nationally, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 5.4% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 98940, 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 1.96 years of 84.5, 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.
