Reliance, Wyoming (ZIP 82943), overall, ranks in the bottom 20% nationally (25,699th) and the bottom 3.9% of Wyoming (149th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled mammography rests in the bottom 0.8% nationally, unemployment registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 0.5% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 1.0% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands at the national minimum. On the better side, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.2% nationally. Poverty rests at the national minimum.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. ZIP 82901, just across the boundary, comes out 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

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.
