Energy-cost burden
7.8%
in the top 0.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Dental provider access
1.9 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, LaGrange, Wyoming (ZIP 82221) sits in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,789th) and the bottom 42% of Wyoming (90th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: dental providers lands in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Working the other way, modeled energy burden settles in the top 0.8% nationally, distance to a nursing home stands in the top 3.1% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 3.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 7.0% nationally.
In plain language, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 69345, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.31 years of 78.8, 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.
