On balance, and by the composite measure, Hudson, Wyoming (ZIP 82515) ranks in the bottom 29% nationally (22,661st) and the bottom 11.0% of Wyoming (138th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled mammography sits in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and colon screening rests in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 4.4% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 1.8% nationally, modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 9.1% nationally.
In plainer terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

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 2.01 years of 76.5, 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.
