Cubero, New Mexico (ZIP 87014), by its overall standing, sits in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,205th) and the top 20% of New Mexico (67th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: homeownership rests at the national maximum, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally, housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Set against that, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and modeled uninsured rests in the top 5.5% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 87051, about 12 miles away.

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 1.69 years of 79.1, 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.
