On balance, and by the composite measure, Hartline, Washington (ZIP 99135) ranks in the bottom 41% nationally (18,807th) and the bottom 22% of Washington (454th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 7.8% nationally. On the other hand, walkability resides in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 4.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 4.9% nationally, slow internet speeds sits in the top 7.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 7.6% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 9.3% nationally, modeled arsenic stands in the top 10.1% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles in the bottom 11.7% nationally.
In plainer terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.73 years of 81.4, 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.
