By the composite health measure, Strasburg, Colorado (ZIP 80136) ranks in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,025th) and the bottom 46% of Colorado (270th).
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 10.2% nationally, and pfas sits in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 9.1% nationally. By contrast, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 3.3% nationally, modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 5.0% nationally. Walkability stands in the bottom 7.1% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the bottom 10.4% nationally.
To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 80102, just across the boundary, ranks 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

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 1.40 years of 79.7, 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.
