Nationwide, some 340 in every 100,000 Americans die before the age of 75 annually.
Of the two metro areas in Wyoming – Cheyenne and Casper – Cheyenne ranks as the healthiest. Some 23.4% of adults in Cheyenne do not exercise regularly, a lower inactivity rate than the 25% in Casper and the 24.1% across Wyoming as a whole. Similarly, 30% of adults in Cheyenne are obese, less than the obesity rate of 31.8% in Casper, yet higher than the 28.9% obesity rate statewide.
All data used in the index came from the CHR with the exception of 2019 annual unemployment rates for each MSA – these are the most recent annual figures available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Local Area Unemployment Statistics program.
Values selected for the index were standardized into Z-Scores, which assumes a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Z-scores were calculated for each index measure by MSA within each city’s respective state. If an MSA spans multiple states, then the city is indexed according to its primary state, as designated by the Census Bureau. Note that four states — Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Delaware — only have one MSA.
