The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, Rockland, Idaho (ZIP 83271) ranks in the bottom 49% nationally (16,284th) and the bottom 45% of Idaho (148th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and humid heat rests in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Park land stands in the top 7.6% nationally, modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and modeled pfas lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Against that, modeled mammography resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, walkability lands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and modeled nitrate registers in the top 8.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 8.9% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 83243, less than a tenth of a mile away.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 2.63 years of 81.7, 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.
