There being no standard census-like data source on characteristics like religion and ethnicity, the map is based on The Steinhardt Social Research Institute’s estimates from six years (2006-2012) of combined survey data from numerous sources. It is hoped it will be used alongside SSRI’s report to assist local organizations in understanding the scale and demographics of the communities they serve, thereby helping to ensure a vibrant future for the North American Jewish population. The map is intended to track population trends but it also offers potential utility as a benchmarking tool that could improve effectiveness in implementing and appraising outreach/engagement initiatives. Applying cutting-edge research methods to inform and influence religo-ethnic policymaking, the SSRI hopes that this interactive map will generate greater interest in its work while increasing its reach and use. Commissioned by The Steinhardt Social Research Institute (SSRI) at the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies (CMJS) at Brandeis University, the map uses the synthesized results of targeted surveys to provide high quality, unbiased data about the distribution of the contemporary Jewish population in the US. ![]() Even greater disparities are seen at the census tract level.This project seeks to provide answers to social research questions about the Jewish population in the United States. In Benewah County life expectancy is 74.8 years compared to 85.2 years in Blaine County. In Idaho, mapping life expectancy by county shows a difference of as much as 10 years of life between the highest and lowest counties. Social, economic, and environmental factors and their influence on health can vary greatly depending on where one lives, as each neighborhood has differing levels of access to affordable housing, good jobs, healthy food, education, and healthcare. SDOH factors include income, education, housing, safe environment, access to healthy food, quality health care, social support, discrimination, and other factors that influence health choices, behaviors, and opportunities. Also known as the social determinants of health (SDOH), these conditions and the policies and systems that shape them, are the underlying, contributing factors of health inequities that result in differences in health outcomes for some populations. The conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work and play have a substantial impact on health outcomes and quality of life. The diversity index for the United States was 65 percent in 2021, up from 54.9 percent in 2010. A diversity index of 0 percent would mean that everyone in the population has the same racial and ethnic characteristics, while a value close to 100 percent indicates that everyone in the population has different racial and ethnic characteristics. In 2020 the diversity index from Idaho was 35.9 percent, up from 28.2 percent in 2010. The 2020 census diversity index shows that racial and ethnic diversity has increased in Idaho over the past decade. Thirty-five of Idaho’s 44 counties are rural, with 16 of these considered remote, which means those counties have fewer than six people per square mile. With approximately 22.3 people per square mile, Idaho ranks 44th of the 50 states in population density. The 2022 census population for Idaho was 1,939,033 and, because of its large size and relatively small population, Idaho remains one of the most rural states in the nation. Idaho is ranked 38th of the 50 United States for total population and 14th for geographic size. Geography and distance impact both the demographic characteristics and social determinants of health within Idaho. Idaho is a large western state with impressive mountain ranges, lar ge areas of high desert and massive expanses of forested terrain. ![]()
