On the composite measure, Recluse, Wyoming (ZIP 82725) stands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,848th) and the top 36% of Wyoming (56th).
On the ground here, a handful of readings tell most of the story: poverty sits in the top 1.0% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 1.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands in the top 1.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the top 1.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 2.1% nationally, and walkability stands in the bottom 2.5% nationally. More positively, modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 1.8% nationally, home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 3.8% nationally.

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 3.56 years of 81.6, 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.
