Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Wamsutter, Wyoming (ZIP 82336) sits in the bottom 34% nationally (21,263rd) and the bottom 14.9% of Wyoming (132nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: distance to a nursing home stands in the top 1.1% nationally, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 1.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 3.3% nationally, walkability resides in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 4.3% nationally. Better still, modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 1.9% nationally. Housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally.
Put plainly, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 82901, about 5.7 miles away.

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 3.43 years of 80.6, 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.
