PFAS in drinking water

US2nd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read

By its overall health score, Peck, Idaho (ZIP 83545) lands in the bottom 33% nationally (21,630th) and the bottom 22% of Idaho (210th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: modeled hearing disability is in the top 2.6% nationally, and fine-particle stands in the top 3.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 6.0% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Crowded housing resides in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lands in the top 12.9% nationally. Better still, modeled pfas registers in the bottom 1.8% nationally, loneliness sits in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and expected annual loss rests in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 9.6% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 83541, just across the boundary.

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 1.68 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.
