What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Arsenic in groundwater

70.2%

in the top 0.10% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Nitrate in drinking water

50%

in the top 0.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›

High cholesterol

30.4%

in the bottom 3.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST6th
US4th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

65.6 mi

in the top 7.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST88th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Elder-services access

0.16 per 1,000 residents

in the top 9.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST86th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

0.00045 ppb

in the bottom 9.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

US10th
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

89.8%

in the top 16% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US84th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Full methodology ›

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

0.55%

in the top 17% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US83rd
Definition & source ›

The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

The read

Filer, Idaho (ZIP 83328), in overall standing, comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,891st) and the top 29% of Idaho (77th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 3.9% nationally, distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 7.4% nationally, and elder services is in the top 9.3% nationally. Lead in tap water lies in the bottom 9.8% nationally, home broadband subscription registers in the top 10.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled arsenic registers in the top 0.10% nationally, and nitrate is in the top 0.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies in the bottom 14.0% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83314, about 14 miles away.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.84 years of 77.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
