Full methodology ›The read
Crowheart, Wyoming (ZIP 82512), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 7.6% nationally (29,640th) and the bottom 0.7% of Wyoming (154th).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled mammography lies in the bottom 0.8% nationally, hearing disability sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease settles in the top 1.0% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 0.7% nationally, modeled stroke stands in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lands in the top 2.8% nationally. PFOA in drinking water is at the national maximum, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 2.3% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 82513, 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 3.10 years of 81.5, 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.
