Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Beulah, Wyoming (ZIP 82712) sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,636th) and the bottom 38% of Wyoming (96th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled mammography rests in the bottom 0.9% nationally, distance to a community health center sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 1.8% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled hearing disability resides in the top 4.2% nationally. More positively, modeled pfas lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and short sleep settles in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and humid heat is in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 7.1% nationally.
In plain language, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. ZIP 57717, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 2.86 years of 88.9, 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.
