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.
Fatal road crashes
0.5 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 4.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS4thDefinition & 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.

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 number of mental-health clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Lower is healthier
ST32ndUS7thDefinition & 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.

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Ammon, Idaho (ZIP 83406) lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,254th) and the top 6.8% of Idaho (18th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: fatal road crashes is in the bottom 4.1% nationally, mental-health providers sits in the top 6.2% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 7.3% nationally, humid heat stands in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and high cholesterol resides in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Outpatient settles in the top 10.7% nationally. Set against that, modeled fine-particle is in the top 6.1% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. On the overall standing, ZIP 83427, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.67 years of 77.5, 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
