Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 4.1% nationally, poverty rests in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and modeled pfas registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 8.9% nationally, and humid heat sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled mammography lands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and fine-particle lies in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 8.2% nationally.

Defined simply, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. ZIP 83228, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.27 years of 80.8, 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.
