The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Tumacacori, Arizona (ZIP 85640) lands in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,629th) and the top 50% of Arizona (197th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Against that, crowded housing resides in the top 0.09% nationally, and homeownership lands at the national minimum. Housing-cost burden registers in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 1.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 1.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is in the top 3.6% nationally, modeled transportation noise stands in the top 5.3% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the top 6.5% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 85646, 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 1.48 years of 82.3, 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.
