Walkability
1.4 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 4.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST21stUS4thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
7.7%
in the bottom 4.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
37.1 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 8.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST87thUS92ndDefinition & 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 ›Distance to an emergency room
16.9 mi
in the top 8.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST82ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency room.

in the top 9.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Mammography

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Keenesburg, Colorado (ZIP 80643) lands in the bottom 43% nationally (18,300th) and the bottom 21% of Colorado (397th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled pfas sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 14.3% nationally. On the other hand, walkability is in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes stands in the top 8.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 8.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 9.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled mammography lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and tree cover registers in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
To translate a couple of terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 80102, just across the boundary.

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 1.62 years of 80.4, 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.
