Judged by its overall standing, Campo, Colorado (ZIP 81029) sits in the bottom 18% nationally (26,222nd) and the bottom 2.4% of Colorado (490th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: walkability lands in the bottom 1.5% nationally, modeled hearing disability rests in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 3.6% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 4.7% nationally, modeled mammography rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and poverty settles in the top 7.3% nationally. On the better side, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 5.2% nationally. Park land settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 67950, 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 2.73 years of 83.9, 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.
