Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Phippsburg, Colorado (ZIP 80469) comes out in the top 8.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,548th) and the top 16% of Colorado (81st).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: fiber broadband lies at the national maximum, poverty sits at the national minimum, and modeled obesity settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 2.6% nationally, modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 7.2% nationally. By contrast, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 6.2% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 80467, 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 1.27 years of 82.5, 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.
