Stanley, Idaho (ZIP 83278), in overall standing, comes out in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,409th) and the top 32% of Idaho (86th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum, home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum, and modeled loneliness is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Park land lies in the top 4.6% nationally. Against that, walkability registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 1.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies in the top 3.8% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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 closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83227, 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 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.
