By its overall health score, Deaver, Wyoming (ZIP 82421) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (16,924th) and the bottom 37% of Wyoming (98th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Homeownership resides in the top 7.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Against that, modeled mammography registers in the bottom 4.5% nationally, tree cover sits at the national minimum, and fine-particle rests in the top 6.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 82435, 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 1.05 years of 81.9, 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.
