Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Shoup, Idaho (ZIP 83469) places in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,919th) and the top 24% of Idaho (63rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 0.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and transportation noise is at the national minimum. Homeownership lands at the national maximum, home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled fine-particle settles in the top 1.3% nationally, distance to a Superfund site sits at the national minimum, and walkability lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 83227, about 18 miles 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 3.21 years of 82.5, 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.
