The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.3 pCi/L
in the top 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
29.2%
in the bottom 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST32ndUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

in the top 7.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST84thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Fair or poor health

in the bottom 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST17thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.

ST73rdUS91stDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Pine, Colorado (ZIP 80470) lands in the top 10.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,377th) and the top 23% of Colorado (114th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and obesity is in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Park land stands in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Household income lies in the top 5.9% nationally, modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and recreation lands in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Against that, modeled radon sits in the top 7.1% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 9.1% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 80135, 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 1.64 years of 81.1, 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.
