Energy-cost burden

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

In overall standing, Dubois, Idaho (ZIP 83423) comes out in the bottom 29% nationally (22,836th) and the bottom 17% of Idaho (222nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: modeled energy burden sits in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled mammography settles in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 3.5% nationally, modeled uninsured lands in the top 5.4% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the top 4.5% nationally. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 5.6% nationally. More positively, modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 4.1% nationally.
In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 59724, just across the boundary.

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 1.35 years of 79.4, 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.
