The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Arapahoe, Wyoming (ZIP 82510) comes out in the bottom 8.6% nationally (29,322nd) and the bottom 1.3% of Wyoming (153rd).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: modeled mammography settles in the bottom 0.4% nationally, colon screening registers in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and cognitive disability stands in the top 3.3% nationally. Crowded housing lands in the top 2.6% nationally, and unemployment is in the top 3.1% nationally. More encouragingly, distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum. Childcare settles in the top 3.7% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 82501, 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 2.32 years of 75.7, 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.
