Full methodology ›The read
Big Horn, Wyoming (ZIP 82833), by its composite score, sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,737th) and the top 13.0% of Wyoming (20th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and park land sits in the top 1.6% nationally. Poverty lies at the national minimum, and homeownership rests at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 3.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, housing-cost burden stands at the national maximum, crowded housing registers in the top 0.3% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 1.6% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 82845, about 9.8 miles away.

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 1.37 years of 80.8, 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.
