ZIP 80016, one of several in Aurora, Colorado, overall, ranks in the top 4.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,549th) and the top 8.8% of Colorado (44th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: household income settles in the top 3.9% nationally, modeled obesity is in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and modeled mobility disability sits in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lands in the bottom 3.5% nationally, high cholesterol lies in the bottom 3.9% nationally, and diabetes stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the top 6.2% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 80111, 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.
