Judged by its overall standing, Evansville, Wyoming (ZIP 82636) sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,913th) and the top 17% of Wyoming (27th).
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: distance to a Superfund site is in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 5.9% nationally, poverty lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally, and modeled energy burden registers in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Against that, modeled mammography registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 15.0% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 82009, about 79 miles away.

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 1.67 years of 79.9, 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.
