PFAS in drinking water
1.8%
in the bottom 0.03% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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 ›Park land
86.9%
in the top 0.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Walkability
0.29 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 0.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate
28.1%

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
4.4%
in the top 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier

The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise

Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden
52.6%
in the top 2.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
21.7 mi

Higher is healthier
ST74thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›The read
On the data available so far, for Avery, Idaho (ZIP 83802), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: modeled pfas registers in the bottom 0.03% nationally, and park land lies in the top 0.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover is in the top 1.1% nationally, and transportation noise registers at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 4.1% nationally. By contrast, walkability registers in the bottom 0.7% nationally, unemployment lies in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled fine-particle is in the top 1.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden registers in the top 2.3% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 1.74 years of 79.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
