In its overall standing, Smoot, Wyoming (ZIP 83126) lands in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,841st) and the top 48% of Wyoming (75th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 1.1% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 2.2% nationally, and home broadband subscription is at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 5.6% nationally. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the top 10.3% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. On the overall standing, ZIP 83254, about 4.7 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 1.16 years of 82.0, 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.
