Full methodology ›The read
Dietrich, Idaho (ZIP 83324) ranks in the bottom 46% nationally (17,330th) and the bottom 40% of Idaho (160th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled pfas resides in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 6.4% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Poverty stands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Working the other way, modeled mammography sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally, modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum, and crowded housing stands in the top 5.7% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle resides in the top 10.5% nationally.
For context, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83352, 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 0.51 years of 79.1, 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.
