Full methodology ›The read
Berthoud, Colorado (ZIP 80513) ranks in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,956th) and the top 32% of Colorado (161st).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled obesity is in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and short sleep registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled diabetes lies in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and household income is in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and fair or poor health lies in the bottom 6.6% nationally. On the other side, lead in tap water is in the top 3.8% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 8.0% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Modeled fine-particle is in the top 9.3% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 80503, 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 0.89 years of 80.7, 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.
