Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Felt, Idaho (ZIP 83424) ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,889th) and the top 46% of Idaho (123rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and pfas settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Household income lies in the top 3.8% nationally, and poverty resides at the national minimum. Homeownership lands at the national maximum, home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally. On the other hand, modeled mammography rests in the bottom 0.6% nationally, tooth loss is in the top 1.1% nationally, and colon screening stands in the bottom 1.6% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 2.23 years of 85.4, 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.
