Full methodology ›The read
Arimo, Idaho (ZIP 83214), overall, ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,798th) and the top 45% of Idaho (120th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 7.1% nationally. Set against that, distance to a nursing home settles in the top 5.2% nationally, modeled arsenic is in the top 6.9% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 7.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 10.1% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 11.7% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 11.7% nationally, and loud transportation noise rests in the top 12.7% nationally.
Defined simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. ZIP 83234, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 2.07 years of 83.3, 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.
