Overall, ZIP 80537, one of several in Loveland, Colorado lands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,419th) and the top 44% of Colorado (221st).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled obesity stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and short sleep lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and park land sits in the top 6.1% nationally. Set against that, modeled disaster risk is in the top 1.7% nationally, expected annual loss settles in the top 5.0% nationally, and mammography resides in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 7.6% nationally, modeled fine-particle rests in the top 8.0% nationally, and lead in tap water stands in the top 11.1% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 80503, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.46 years of 79.7, 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.
