Judged by its overall standing, Wayan, Idaho (ZIP 83285) sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,634th) and the top 12.7% of Idaho (34th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, colon screening stands in the top 1.3% nationally, and humid heat resides in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Against that, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 3.2% nationally, and walkability stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides in the top 5.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 5.1% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.07 years of 81.1, 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.
