Full methodology ›The read
Viola, Idaho (ZIP 83872), on the composite measure, lands in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,754th) and the top 13.5% of Idaho (36th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: homeownership stands at the national maximum, civic is in the top 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum. Modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 1.8% nationally, modeled pfas registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and dental providers lands in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 3.4% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 83843, 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 1.63 years of 81.6, 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.
