Full methodology ›The read
Roosevelt, Washington (ZIP 99356), in overall standing, comes out in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,227th) and the bottom 38% of Washington (363rd).
A rural profile defined by a handful of clear readings: distance to a nursing home lands in the top 2.3% nationally, distance to an emergency room rests in the top 3.3% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 4.8% nationally, walkability rests in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the top 5.8% nationally. Crowded housing lands in the top 7.2% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk settles in the top 8.1% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 3.1% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 98953, about 25 miles away.

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 0.89 years of 78.8, 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.
