Overall, Indian Hills, Colorado (ZIP 80454) lands in the top 8.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,550th) and the top 16% of Colorado (82nd).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: household income resides in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled obesity registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Civic rests in the top 2.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Childcare lies in the top 5.2% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled pfas resides in the top 4.9% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 80439, 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 1.84 years of 76.5, 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.
