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.

Mammography

66%

ST26th
US4th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Humid extreme heat

8.4 days/year

in the bottom 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST23rd
US6th
Definition & 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 ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 6.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST30th
US7th
Definition & 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 ›

Fatal road crashes

39.2 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 7.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST87th
US93rd
Definition & 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 ›

PFAS in drinking water

9.4%

in the bottom 7.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST22nd
US8th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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 ›

ST86th

The read

Judged by its overall standing, Shoshone, Idaho (ZIP 83352) sits in the bottom 47% nationally (17,021st) and the bottom 41% of Idaho (158th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 5.6% nationally, industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and pfas resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 7.7% nationally. Against that, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and uninsured resides in the top 5.9% nationally. Fatal road crashes sits in the top 7.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover resides in the bottom 9.9% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 9.9% nationally.

Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 83313, just across the boundary.

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 0.50 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.
