Peetz, Colorado (ZIP 80747), by its overall standing, sits in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,516th) and the bottom 38% of Colorado (313th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled obesity stands in the bottom 10.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 8.8% nationally. Set against that, walkability is in the bottom 1.7% nationally, modeled nitrate resides in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled mammography rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Unemployment lies in the top 10.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 10.8% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 10.9% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands in the top 11.8% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 69156, 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 1.68 years of 78.9, 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.
