Full methodology ›The read
Crowley, Colorado (ZIP 81033), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,224th) and the bottom 8.8% of Colorado (458th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled mammography registers in the bottom 2.1% nationally, crowded housing lands in the top 4.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, colon screening settles in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and uninsured stands in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled energy burden is in the top 8.2% nationally. More positively, modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 5.8% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 81063, 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 0.70 years of 76.4, 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.
