Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, for Horse Creek, Wyoming (ZIP 82061), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: modeled humid heat is in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 15% nationally. Working the other way, walkability sits in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 2.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 4.7% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 10.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 11.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 81.6 yr ± 2.47 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 80.7 yr (78.2–83.4) n=168 |
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 2.47 years of 81.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
