By the composite health measure, Leadore, Idaho (ZIP 83464) ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,547th) and the bottom 48% of Idaho (139th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 1.4% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Set against that, distance to a nursing home is in the top 1.6% nationally, distance to an emergency room settles in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled hearing disability resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 7.2% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Close by, ZIP 59724, 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 2.98 years of 82.1, 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.
