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.

Overall, ZIP 81007, one of several in Pueblo, Colorado lands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,437th) and the top 50% of Colorado (251st).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and high cholesterol settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 15% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 15% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 13.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon stands in the top 0.9% nationally, disaster risk lies in the top 2.3% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits in the bottom 9.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 comparison, ZIP 80926, about 9.1 miles away, ranks better overall.

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 0.70 years of 80.1, 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.
