Freedom, Idaho (ZIP 83120) ranks in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,100th) and the top 16% of Idaho (43rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and poverty lands at the national minimum. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 4.3% nationally. By contrast, distance to a community health center rests in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled mammography lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.5% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83127, 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 0.76 years of 80.2, 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.
