Overall, Wilder, Idaho (ZIP 83676) lands in the bottom 45% nationally (17,742nd) and the bottom 37% of Idaho (169th).
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled mammography registers in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and arsenic rests in the top 0.9% nationally. Modeled fine-particle stands in the top 4.7% nationally, and nitrate lies in the top 6.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover sits in the bottom 10.3% nationally, modeled extreme heat is in the top 11.3% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 11.5% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 8.2% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally.
A note on the terms: 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 83686, about 7.6 miles away, ranks better 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 1.14 years of 80.0, 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.
