Overall, Nunn, Colorado (ZIP 80648) lands in the bottom 37% nationally (20,230th) and the bottom 14.2% of Colorado (431st).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: fiber broadband settles in the top 5.8% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 7.1% nationally. Park land registers in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Set against that, walkability lies in the bottom 4.6% nationally, modeled nitrate lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and households without a vehicle sits in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled tree cover is in the bottom 10.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 11.0% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 80524, 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 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.
