Jerome, Idaho (ZIP 83338), overall, ranks in the bottom 34% nationally (21,102nd) and the bottom 24% of Idaho (203rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled mammography settles in the bottom 1.9% nationally, uninsured is in the top 4.0% nationally, and disaster risk sits in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands in the bottom 9.6% nationally, modeled colon screening lies in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and crowded housing stands in the top 10.1% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 10.7% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 7.6% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 9.1% nationally.
Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 83301, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.65 years of 78.8, 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.
