Full methodology ›The read
Egnar, Colorado (ZIP 81325) ranks in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,485th) and the bottom 33% of Colorado (334th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Plainly, the numbers point to a handful of defining readings: housing-cost burden resides in the top 1.5% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 2.3% nationally. Slow internet speeds sits in the top 4.5% nationally, and walkability resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally, modeled pfas sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and park land resides in the top 6.3% nationally.
Against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 81323, 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 0.95 years of 78.1, 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.
