In overall standing, Dillon, Colorado (ZIP 80435) comes out in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,175th) and the top 34% of Colorado (171st).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: park land resides in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 2.3% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled obesity stands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 2.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled binge drinking resides in the top 5.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 80424, 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 2.36 years of 82.4, 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.
