Usk, Washington (ZIP 99180) ranks in the bottom 33% nationally (21,426th) and the bottom 13.5% of Washington (503rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: park land registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 10.2% nationally, and tree cover lies in the top 10.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 3.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability registers in the top 10.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83856, 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 2.12 years of 80.9, 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.
