Hulett, Wyoming (ZIP 82720), by its composite score, sits in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,653rd) and the top 40% of Wyoming (62nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: recreation sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and outpatient lies in the top 1.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and pfas resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and short sleep lands in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a community health center stands in the top 0.3% nationally, slow internet speeds registers in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled mammography settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. 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.

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 2.49 years of 85.8, 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.
