On the composite measure, Pingree, Idaho (ZIP 83262) stands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,595th) and the top 34% of Idaho (90th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty is in the bottom 9.8% nationally. By contrast, walkability registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, modeled mammography lies in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and modeled nitrate is in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, and fine-particle lies in the top 7.9% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
For clarity, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. ZIP 83236, about 14 miles away, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.19 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.
