What defines this ZIP

Radon
3.6 pCi/L
in the top 4.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
35 mi
in the top 3.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST67thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Mammography

Higher is healthier
ST51stUS4thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Air-toxics cancer risk

Lower is healthier
ST75thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

Higher is healthier
ST84thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.9 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 6.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST40thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.19 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST84thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Newcastle, Wyoming (ZIP 82701) sits in the bottom 43% nationally (18,433rd) and the bottom 32% of Wyoming (106th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and park land lies in the top 6.6% nationally. Elder services registers in the top 7.7% nationally. On the other hand, modeled radon is in the top 4.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 9.1% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 57730, 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 1.01 years of 79.3, 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.
