Full methodology ›The read
Kinnear, Wyoming (ZIP 82516), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 11.7% nationally (28,318th) and the bottom 2.0% of Wyoming (152nd).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled mammography is in the bottom 1.3% nationally, modeled hearing disability resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the top 2.6% nationally, stroke sits in the top 4.1% nationally, and colon screening settles in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Floodplain exposure is 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, 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 ZIP ranking healthier 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 1.79 years of 77.8, 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.
