On balance, and by the composite measure, Teton, Idaho (ZIP 83451) ranks in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,753rd) and the top 13.1% of Idaho (35th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 7.1% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lies in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and humid heat resides in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 7.4% nationally, crowded housing rests in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Modeled arsenic stands in the top 13.5% nationally.
In plainer terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 83448, 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 1.03 years of 80.8, 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.
