By the composite measure, Fort Bridger, Wyoming (ZIP 82933) sits in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,060th) and the top 41% of Wyoming (63rd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Household income lies in the top 7.3% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, crowded housing is in the top 1.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.1% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 5.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 7.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 82930, just across the boundary, 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 1.21 years of 78.7, 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.
