Fatal road crashes
62.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 2.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS98thDefinition & 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 ›Fiber broadband
99.8%
in the top 2.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.31 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›Walkability

Higher is healthier
ST30thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Nitrate in drinking water

Lower is healthier
ST85thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
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 ›High cholesterol
32.2%
in the bottom 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier

Full methodology ›The read
Wiggins, Colorado (ZIP 80654) ranks in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,226th) and the bottom 45% of Colorado (275th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: fiber broadband resides in the top 2.5% nationally, and elder services stands in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol sits in the bottom 7.1% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Working the other way, fatal road crashes stands in the top 2.0% nationally, modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum, and walkability resides in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled nitrate stands in the top 7.0% nationally, crowded housing sits in the top 10.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 11.0% nationally.
For context, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 80136, 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 1.78 years of 81.2, 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.
