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.
Radon
3.9 pCi/L
in the top 2.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
1.6 days/year
in the bottom 1.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
26.2%
in the bottom 1.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST15thUS1stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Obesity
23.4%
in the bottom 3.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility

in the top 2.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST83rdUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 2.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Park land
46.2%
in the top 2.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the top 2.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS97thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.6%
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
1.6 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Hailey, Idaho (ZIP 83333) stands in the top 7.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,413th) and the top 1.9% of Idaho (5th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and loneliness settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Modeled obesity rests in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 2.6% nationally, park land rests in the top 2.7% nationally, and modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon rests in the top 2.2% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the top 2.8% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. ZIP 83340, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.59 years of 80.0, 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. How distance is measured
