What defines this ZIP

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
2.2%
in the top 3.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST87thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.15 per 1,000 residents
in the top 10.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS90thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Radon
2.4 pCi/L
in the top 22% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS78thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Deer Park, Washington (ZIP 99006) comes out in the bottom 45% nationally (17,568th) and the bottom 27% of Washington (425th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: elder services rests in the top 10.3% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 18% nationally. Set against that, modeled fine-particle registers in the top 3.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands in the top 17% nationally, and unemployment is in the top 17% nationally. PFOS in drinking water resides in the top 19% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 22% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 99003, 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 1.09 years of 78.2, 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.
