Judged by its overall standing, Prescott, Washington (ZIP 99348) sits in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,439th) and the bottom 33% of Washington (389th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally, high cholesterol settles in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally. On the other hand, walkability rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally, modeled uninsured settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and homeownership lands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled fine-particle rests in the top 6.3% nationally, and arsenic settles in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and colon screening rests in the bottom 10.1% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 99360, 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 1.60 years of 80.7, 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.
