Guernsey, Wyoming (ZIP 82214), overall, ranks in the bottom 38% nationally (19,914th) and the bottom 22% of Wyoming (121st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: distance to a community health center registers in the top 0.8% nationally, modeled mammography resides in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 6.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription is in the bottom 7.0% nationally. More encouragingly, pharmacy sits in the top 1.8% nationally, and childcare lands in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 7.1% nationally.

Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 82201, just across the boundary, 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 1.13 years of 78.7, 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.
