On the composite measure, Genesee, Idaho (ZIP 83832) stands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,484th) and the top 19% of Idaho (52nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and loneliness settles in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 14.1% nationally, and modeled pfas lands in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and diabetes rests in the bottom 13.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 4.4% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For clarity, 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. ZIP 83537, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.47 years of 77.2, 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.
