Overall, Hasty, Colorado (ZIP 81044) lands in the bottom 12.3% nationally (28,152nd) and the bottom 1.4% of Colorado (495th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled mammography sits in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the top 3.3% nationally, and tree cover resides at the national minimum. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 5.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 8.3% nationally. On the better side, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.2% nationally, distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
A note on the terms: 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 81052, just across the boundary, 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 1.32 years of 78.0, 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.
