Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 82718, one of several in Gillette, Wyoming ranks in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,568th) and the top 39% of Wyoming (61st).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 5.5% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 5.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled mammography lies in the bottom 1.3% nationally, distance to a community health center lands in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 4.8% nationally, expected annual loss settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the top 5.7% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Close by, ZIP 82639, about 1.1 miles away, 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 1.32 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.
