The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Eagle, Idaho (ZIP 83616) ranks in the top 11.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,750th) and the top 3.0% of Idaho (8th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled loneliness is in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and housing insecurity settles in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and food insecurity registers in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled transportation rests in the bottom 5.9% nationally, utility shutoff stands in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and energy burden lies in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Set against that, modeled arsenic lands in the top 1.9% nationally, fine-particle sits in the top 5.6% nationally, and nitrate is in the top 7.7% nationally.
To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Close by, ZIP 83702, about 4.2 miles away, 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 0.60 years of 82.3, 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. How distance is measured
