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.

On balance, and by the composite measure, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado (ZIP 80810) ranks in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,552nd) and the bottom 33% of Colorado (335th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: elder services stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and pharmacy settles in the top 1.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 6.4% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Modeled pfas sits in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Against that, walkability rests in the bottom 1.4% nationally, modeled tree cover is at the national minimum, and modeled nitrate stands in the top 5.8% nationally.
In plainer 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 67879, about 9.6 miles away.

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 2.87 years of 89.5, 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.
