Dacono, Colorado (ZIP 80514), overall, ranks in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,279th) and the bottom 41% of Colorado (294th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally, high blood pressure is in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 0.3% nationally, and tree cover rests at the national minimum. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 5.4% nationally, and binge drinking resides in the top 7.0% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. ZIP 80504, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.37 years of 76.5, 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. How distance is measured
