Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Allenspark, Colorado (ZIP 80510) places in the top 5.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,768th) and the top 11.0% of Colorado (55th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled obesity lies in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and park land rests in the top 0.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and humid heat is in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the top 10.1% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 80540, 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 1.99 years of 82.2, 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.
