Health need and barriers to care documented here
On our reading, this ZIP code carries the overlap at its acute level: acute means at least three of the six health-need readings and at least three of the six access barriers apply to the same place.
These are two separate readings of public data that both apply to this place — never a claim that one causes the other, never a severity score, and never a statement about any person who lives here.
Health need documented here
- People living in poverty
- Food insecurity
- Housing insecurity
- Adults reporting fair or poor health
Barriers to reaching care
- Distance to the nearest emergency room
- Distance to the nearest community health center
- Thin local supply of pharmacies

By its overall health score, Owyhee, Nevada (ZIP 89832) lands in the bottom 3.9% nationally (30,835th) and the bottom 3.1% of Nevada (161st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings that matter most locally set the tone for the profile: modeled tooth loss sits in the top 0.6% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 0.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is in the top 0.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room stands in the top 0.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled transportation resides in the top 3.0% nationally. Poverty lands in the top 3.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 2.9% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, distance to a nursing home runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 83604, 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 2.11 years of 81.3, 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.
