Full methodology ›The read
Bliss, Idaho (ZIP 83314) ranks in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,301st) and the top 26% of Idaho (69th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 9.6% nationally. On the other side, slow internet speeds settles in the top 5.4% nationally, modeled nitrate rests in the top 6.6% nationally, and modeled arsenic lands in the top 7.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 8.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle rests in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover settles in the bottom 10.2% nationally.
For context, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83333, about 23 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 0.85 years of 76.3, 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.
