In overall standing, ZIP 80930, one of several in Colorado Springs, Colorado comes out in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,495th) and the bottom 50% of Colorado (253rd).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: pharmacy sits in the top 2.7% nationally, modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, pfas lands in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and diabetes is in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Set against that, slow internet speeds resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled mammography rests in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Homeownership lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 80831, 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 1.72 years of 77.8, 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.
