Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Edwards, Colorado (ZIP 81632) comes out in the top 6.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,997th) and the top 13.2% of Colorado (66th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 1.2% nationally, park land stands in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure lands in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled obesity is in the bottom 4.1% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and recreation rests in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and high cholesterol sits in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 6.9% nationally. By contrast, housing-cost burden registers in the top 5.0% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 81645, 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.
