Walkability
0.52 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 1.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST3rdUS1stDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Mammography
65.4%
in the bottom 3.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST10thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure

at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.1 pCi/L
in the top 8.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Distance to an emergency room
18.4 mi
in the top 6.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency room.
Full methodology ›Air-toxics cancer risk
18.9 per million
in the bottom 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST46thUS7thDefinition & source ›

in the top 8.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST78thUS92ndDefinition & 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 ›Homeownership rate
49.5%
in the bottom 8.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST9thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›The read
Woodrow, Colorado (ZIP 80757), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 37% nationally (20,247th) and the bottom 14.0% of Colorado (432nd).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: walkability registers in the bottom 1.2% nationally, modeled mammography is in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the top 8.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 6.7% nationally, modeled nitrate is in the top 8.5% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Better still, floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 7.9% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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 healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 80105, 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 1.51 years of 80.0, 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.
