Mammography

ST3rdUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Lower is healthier
ST1stUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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.

Lower is healthier
ST8thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Lower is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.9 intersections/sq mi

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Yoder, Colorado (ZIP 80864) ranks in the bottom 27% nationally (23,283rd) and the bottom 6.8% of Colorado (468th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled mammography sits in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 2.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled energy burden stands in the top 4.9% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 6.9% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled pfas lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and humid heat lands in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 5.9% nationally.
In plainer terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 1.35 years of 76.8, 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.
