Full methodology ›The read
Clearmont, Wyoming (ZIP 82835), by its overall standing, sits in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,248th) and the top 19% of Wyoming (29th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 6.3% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Set against that, walkability lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 5.4% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 82801, 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 1.41 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.
