ST4thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access

ST89thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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 ›The read
In its overall standing, Frederick, Colorado (ZIP 80530) lands in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,645th) and the bottom 49% of Colorado (254th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 3.7% nationally, modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Elder services lands in the top 7.9% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and household income stands in the top 8.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 0.2% nationally, and tree cover registers at the national minimum. Modeled binge drinking resides in the top 4.8% nationally, and fine-particle settles in the top 5.3% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 80504, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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

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.
