Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Rawlins, Wyoming (ZIP 82301) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (16,956th) and the bottom 36% of Wyoming (99th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled mammography settles in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled colon screening resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 2.6% nationally, and mental-health providers sits in the top 3.2% nationally. Elder services rests in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 5.2% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 82620, 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 0.96 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.
