Full methodology ›The read
Stanfield, Arizona (ZIP 85172) ranks in the bottom 10.5% nationally (28,708th) and the bottom 16% of Arizona (331st).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled mammography settles in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and colon screening rests in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the top 0.07% nationally, and uninsured settles in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 0.7% nationally, tooth loss lands in the top 4.7% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health rests in the top 6.6% nationally, and vision disability lands in the top 7.2% nationally. More positively, childcare settles in the top 3.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 85138, 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 1.32 years of 75.9, 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.
