Mammography

Higher is healthier
ST2ndUS1stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Lower is healthier
ST97thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access

Higher is healthier
ST94thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
Marsing, Idaho (ZIP 83639) ranks in the bottom 24% nationally (24,324th) and the bottom 9.4% of Idaho (243rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled mammography resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and arsenic stands in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and uninsured resides in the top 7.5% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Fatal road crashes resides in the top 10.8% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 10.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, elder services sits in the top 4.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 83607, 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 3.38 years of 80.4, 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
