Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Severance, Colorado (ZIP 80546) sits in the top 10.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,350th) and the top 22% of Colorado (112th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: fiber broadband settles at the national maximum, poverty lands at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, and modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Modeled mobility disability settles in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and walkability lands in the top 4.4% nationally. Against that, housing-cost burden rests in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled binge drinking settles in the top 3.9% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 80547, about 4.8 miles away.

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.
