Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, White Bird, Idaho (ZIP 83554) sits in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,569th) and the top 33% of Idaho (89th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 0.7% nationally, short sleep registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and binge drinking is in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled pfas lies in the bottom 3.3% nationally, housing insecurity registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Park land lies in the top 5.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled hearing disability registers in the top 0.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the bottom 5.5% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 83530, 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 1.44 years of 79.5, 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.
