Simple math, or is it geography?

Up until the start of Midnight Madness on January 23rd, we will be posting puzzles twice a week to keep you primed. Starting with the puzzle released January 1st, the first five teams with the correct answer will each receive $10 off their entry. Here is the first one:

Baileyville, IL – Dolton, IL = 588 = Blackfoot, ID – ?

Because this is the first puzzle on the new site, I will give you one hint: It is not Fairbanks, Alaska.

We do have comments enabled for this post, because we want your feedback! However, please do not post the answer so that everyone can play. If people need hints though, feel free to nudge them in the right direction.
