What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Recreation access
3.7 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat

Lower is healthier
ST26thUS1stDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Walkability
0.41 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 0.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST3rdUS1stDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›The read
Alta, Wyoming (ZIP 83414), on the composite measure, lands in the top 5.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,691st) and the top 2.0% of Wyoming (3rd).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: recreation lands in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 0.9% nationally, transportation noise stands at the national minimum, and obesity is in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and cognitive disability sits in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Working the other way, walkability registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the top 5.9% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, recreation runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 83014, just across the boundary.

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 1.47 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.
