On balance, and by the composite measure, Moose, Wyoming (ZIP 83012) ranks in the top 8.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,690th) and the top 3.3% of Wyoming (5th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum. Poverty sits at the national minimum, home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Against that, homeownership stands at the national minimum, walkability settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 3.2% nationally.
In plainer terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. 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.

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 1.39 years of 82.2, 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.
