Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Sweet, Idaho (ZIP 83670) ranks in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,564th) and the top 28% of Idaho (74th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and pfas resides in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 7.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled hearing disability lands in the top 3.5% nationally, mammography sits in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled arsenic settles in the top 6.7% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. 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. Close by, ZIP 83616, about 3.7 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 1.28 years of 78.3, 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.
