Beverly, Washington (ZIP 99321), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 38% nationally (19,829th) and the bottom 17% of Washington (480th).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled uninsured stands in the top 1.0% nationally, crowded housing resides in the top 0.04% nationally, and modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 2.0% nationally, modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 5.3% nationally. Homeownership stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 6.0% nationally. Better still, home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 4.6% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 98848, 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 2.74 years of 86.6, 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.
