Radon

ST99thUS99thDefinition & 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.

Judged by its overall standing, Divide, Colorado (ZIP 80814) sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,649th) and the top 41% of Colorado (207th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 0.3% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and park land is in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure is in the bottom 10.2% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies in the top 10.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the top 11.0% nationally. Against that, modeled radon is in the top 0.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the top 9.0% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 80809, 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 2.45 years of 82.8, 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.
