Judged by its overall standing, Shell, Wyoming (ZIP 82441) sits in the bottom 37% nationally (20,156th) and the bottom 20% of Wyoming (124th).
A few readings carry most of this area's story: modeled mammography is in the bottom 1.6% nationally, walkability lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 4.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is in the top 4.9% nationally. On the better side, park land lies in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden is at the national minimum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 5.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 82426, 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 1.48 years of 81.0, 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.
