The read

ZIP 83440, one of several in Rexburg, Idaho, by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 45% nationally (17,500th) and the bottom 39% of Idaho (164th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 0.9% nationally, disaster risk registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled radon lands in the top 4.5% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 3.1% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes lies in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the bottom 1.7% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 83434, just across the boundary.

What’s driving this score

Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.

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 0.64 years of 78.8, 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.
