In overall standing, Clayton, Idaho (ZIP 83227) comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,017th) and the top 15% of Idaho (41st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The clearest local signals in the data come through up front: modeled hearing disability registers in the top 1.2% nationally, distance to a nursing home stands in the top 1.0% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 0.5% nationally, park land resides in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden settles at the national minimum, and homeownership registers at the national maximum.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83340, about 7.2 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 3.31 years of 87.7, 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.
