In overall standing, City of Creede, Colorado (ZIP 81130) comes out in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,060th) and the top 33% of Colorado (168th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: park land settles in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and civic stands in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, childcare is in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 0.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled obesity lies in the bottom 6.3% nationally. By contrast, walkability sits in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 81230, 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

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.
