Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Grant, Colorado (ZIP 80448) lands in the top 7.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,448th) and the top 15% of Colorado (77th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures mark what daily life looks like here: walkability is in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 1.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 3.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 3.7% nationally. On the brighter side, park land rests in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled obesity stands in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, pfas sits in the bottom 3.9% nationally, and short sleep is in the bottom 3.3% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 80135, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.94 years of 80.8, 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.
