Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Newdale, Idaho (ZIP 83436) ranks in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,477th) and the top 19% of Idaho (51st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: modeled pfas lies in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 6.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and loneliness is in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 10.5% nationally, high blood pressure resides in the bottom 9.0% nationally, and high cholesterol registers in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled mammography rests in the bottom 4.0% nationally, fine-particle stands in the top 7.9% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the top 11.0% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Close by, ZIP 83420, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.72 years of 84.3, 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.
