ST47thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Lower is healthier
ST1stUS4thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 82007, one of several in Cheyenne, Wyoming sits in the bottom 33% nationally (21,490th) and the bottom 14.2% of Wyoming (133rd).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 2.0% nationally, lithium in drinking water resides in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 5.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 4.4% nationally, lead in tap water resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled uninsured sits in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled disaster risk stands in the top 6.2% nationally, and mammography resides in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and colon screening stands in the bottom 9.9% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 80549, 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

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.
