Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Burlington, Wyoming (ZIP 82411) stands in the bottom 36% nationally (20,380th) and the bottom 18% of Wyoming (127th).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled mammography registers in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and nitrate lies in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 2.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies in the top 7.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 2.6% nationally, home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.3% nationally.
For clarity, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 82410, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.57 years of 80.8, 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.
