Full methodology ›The read
Victor, Idaho (ZIP 83455), in overall standing, comes out in the top 10.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,334th) and the top 2.3% of Idaho (6th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 1.5% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, high cholesterol registers in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and stroke registers in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a community health center is in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled nitrate lies in the top 5.7% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83414, less than a tenth of a mile away.

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 1.32 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.
