The read

Monteview, Idaho (ZIP 83435), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 39% nationally (19,656th) and the bottom 29% of Idaho (189th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

A few readings account for most of this area's strain: distance to a nursing home lies in the top 1.3% nationally, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and poverty is in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 7.4% nationally. On the better side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 7.7% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83450, 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 1.85 years of 81.1, 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.
