By its overall health score, Fruitland, Washington (ZIP 99129) lands in the bottom 11.0% nationally (28,564th) and the bottom 0.9% of Washington (576th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Plainly stated, a few measures mark out this area: modeled mammography sits in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests at the national minimum. Distance to a nursing home is in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled fine-particle stands in the top 2.5% nationally. Slow internet speeds settles in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled hearing disability lies in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled stroke resides in the top 6.9% nationally. Unemployment lands in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 8.3% nationally. Better still, modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 3.0% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 99122, 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 0.72 years of 76.6, 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.
