Arsenic in groundwater

41.6%

in the top 1.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST94th
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

12.6%

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US97th
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

29.5%

in the bottom 2.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US3rd
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

80.6 mi

in the top 5.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US95th
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

0.23 per 1,000 residents

in the top 6.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST90th
US94th
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 ›

Park land

20.5%

in the top 6.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST82nd
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

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.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.11 per 1,000 residents

in the top 17% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US83rd
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Median household income

$99,100

in the top 20% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US80th
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

The read

Kimberly, Idaho (ZIP 83341), by its overall standing, sits in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,411th) and the top 32% of Idaho (87th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 5.1% nationally, and elder services lands in the top 6.2% nationally. Park land is in the top 6.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 11.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled arsenic settles in the top 1.4% nationally, and nitrate registers in the top 2.8% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, 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 nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 83328, about 5.5 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 1.16 years of 78.9, 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.
