Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 82716, one of several in Gillette, Wyoming ranks in the bottom 37% nationally (20,259th) and the bottom 19% of Wyoming (126th).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled mammography registers in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 1.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 1.4% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Walkability lies in the bottom 7.6% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled humid heat is in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing is in the top 7.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 7.2% nationally.
Against its neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 82718, 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 1.17 years of 78.3, 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.
