Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Galeton, Colorado (ZIP 80622) stands in the bottom 40% nationally (19,333rd) and the bottom 17% of Colorado (417th).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled mammography rests in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, and binge drinking rests in the top 5.2% nationally. More positively, housing-cost burden lands at the national minimum, poverty settles at the national minimum, and floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum. Household income lands in the top 5.4% nationally, modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 80615, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 2.14 years of 83.0, 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.
