Dixon, Wyoming (ZIP 82323), overall, ranks in the bottom 23% nationally (24,663rd) and the bottom 4.6% of Wyoming (148th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled mammography stands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 1.3% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 1.5% nationally. Poverty resides in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 4.3% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled humid heat is in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and transportation noise sits at the national minimum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally.
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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 82321, 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 2.13 years of 78.5, 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.
