Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST96thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Chugwater, Wyoming (ZIP 82210) ranks in the bottom 47% nationally (17,059th) and the bottom 35% of Wyoming (100th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and humid heat rests in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Against that, modeled energy burden stands in the top 1.4% nationally, distance to a community health center settles in the top 3.5% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lies in the top 3.8% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 4.9% nationally, slow internet speeds lands in the top 5.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled nitrate sits in the top 7.6% nationally.
In plainer terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 82009, 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

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 1.20 years of 79.0, 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.
