Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Thatcher, Idaho (ZIP 83283) comes out in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,984th) and the top 24% of Idaho (65th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: homeownership lies at the national maximum, home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 6.8% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled mammography lands in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 5.2% nationally. Poverty resides in the top 5.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 7.0% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83261, about 8.6 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 1.27 years of 80.8, 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.
