Mc Kinnon, Wyoming (ZIP 82938), in overall standing, comes out in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,972nd) and the bottom 45% of Wyoming (85th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 1.5% nationally, homeownership registers at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 5.5% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Against that, housing-cost burden lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled mammography is in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 6.9% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 82930, less than a tenth of a mile 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 1.44 years of 80.6, 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.
