Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Mountain View, Wyoming (ZIP 82939) ranks in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,046th) and the top 37% of Wyoming (58th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled humid heat sits at the national minimum, and elder services is in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and outpatient resides in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 8.2% nationally, and childcare stands in the top 8.3% nationally. Set against that, distance to an emergency room lies in the top 2.0% nationally, distance to a nursing home lands in the top 2.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 4.4% nationally.
To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Close by, ZIP 82937, 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 1.37 years of 79.0, 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.
