Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Mc Coy, Colorado (ZIP 80463) places in the top 12.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,912th) and the top 26% of Colorado (130th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: household income rests in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Poverty is at the national minimum, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 5.4% nationally. On the other side, walkability rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 81631, 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 1.38 years of 81.6, 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.
