Wiley, Colorado (ZIP 81092), by its overall standing, sits in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,911th) and the bottom 32% of Colorado (343rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 3.0% nationally, distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled obesity registers in the bottom 10.5% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Set against that, walkability lands in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and modeled tree cover is at the national minimum. Modeled radon resides in the top 10.4% nationally, and extreme heat rests in the top 10.4% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and energy burden sits in the top 10.7% nationally.
Defined in plain 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 80810, about 23 miles away.

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 1.56 years of 80.0, 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.
