By its overall health score, Estancia, New Mexico (ZIP 87016) lands in the bottom 19% nationally (25,914th) and the bottom 29% of New Mexico (240th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: unemployment registers in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled uninsured rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled vision disability stands in the top 6.3% nationally, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health lies in the top 8.2% nationally. On the encouraging side, elder services resides in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 6.1% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 87036, 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 1.29 years of 79.7, 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. How distance is measured
