The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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 ›The read
Garfield, Washington (ZIP 99130), on the composite measure, lands in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,748th) and the top 28% of Washington (163rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 1.0% nationally, recreation stands in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 9.0% nationally, tooth loss sits in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and colon screening registers in the top 13.2% nationally. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 4.0% nationally, and households without a vehicle resides in the top 9.7% nationally. Walkability lies in the bottom 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
In everyday language, 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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 99161, 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 1.27 years of 82.5, 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.
