How can i remove integer index from array - php

Question

How can i access the ID value without having to use the index?
in my code i do this ( $array[0]['data']['ID'] ) to access the ID value, i have many users and having to access them individually by the integer index is time consuming.
I prefer not to use a foreach loop because i my code i make calls to a remote API and it will query the API for each user which kills performane.
If i can convert the current array to one without the index that would be great and just access the ID value through ( $array['data']['ID'] ).
[0] => Array ( [data] => Array ( [ID] => 370
[1] => Array ( [data] => Array ( [ID] => 405
I found that the code below lags my page load tremendously:
foreach ($search_users as $k => $user):
if (!empty($street[0])) {
$db = prettyAddress(get_user_meta($user->ID, 'company_address', true));
$match = matchAddress($formattedAddress, $db, count($street));
if ($match == false)
unset($search_users[$k]);
}
endforeach;
It is referenced in my question here:
Why does my foreach take forever to load
$location = !empty($_POST['saddress']) ? $_POST['saddress'] : "NA";
$display = false;
if ($location != "NA")
$display = true;
global $wpdb;
$location = $_POST['saddress'];
$street = explode(',', $location);
$cat = $_GET['specializingin'];
$args = array(
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'scategory',
'value' => $_GET['specializingin'],
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'specialties',
'value' => ($_GET['specialitiesin'] == 'All Specialties' ? '' : $_GET['specialitiesin']),
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
),
);
$search_users = get_users($args);
$formattedAddress = prettyAddress($location);

You can assign a variable to the current element of the array:
$current = $array[0];
Then you can access
$current['data']['ID'];
If you need to be able to modify the array using this, you should use a reference:
$current =& $array[0];
you can do this in a loop:
foreach ($array as $current) {
echo $current['data']['ID'];
}
