Full methodology ›The read
Rock River, Wyoming (ZIP 82083), overall, ranks in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,492nd) and the top 32% of Wyoming (49th).
The profile reads plainly, and several measures carry it: distance to a nursing home lands in the top 1.7% nationally, distance to an emergency room lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center stands in the top 4.5% nationally. Slow internet speeds rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the bottom 6.1% nationally. On the better side, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 82070, less than a tenth of a mile away, comes out healthier overall.

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

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 1.15 years of 80.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

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.
