Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Dixie, Washington (ZIP 99329) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,576th) and the bottom 44% of Washington (324th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 1.4% nationally, industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and short sleep rests in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled pfas registers in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Set against that, crowded housing resides in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled fine-particle settles in the top 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle is in the top 5.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits in the top 8.0% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room lies in the top 12.9% nationally.
Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. On the overall standing, ZIP 99361, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.51 years of 80.8, 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.
