Higher is healthier
ST88thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.9 intersections/sq mi

Higher is healthier
ST30thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

ST65thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
5.2 ppb

Lower is healthier
US91stDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Crawford, Colorado (ZIP 81415) lands in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,128th) and the bottom 46% of Colorado (273rd).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled obesity lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and outpatient lies in the top 5.5% nationally. Park land stands in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Lithium in drinking water registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 12.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled mammography settles in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Lead in tap water sits in the top 9.4% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. On the overall standing, ZIP 81220, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.20 years of 80.7, 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.
