Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Willard, New Mexico (ZIP 87063) ranks in the bottom 30% nationally (22,541st) and the bottom 42% of New Mexico (194th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings that matter most locally set the tone for the profile: distance to a nursing home stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 1.1% nationally. Walkability lies in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and modeled uninsured resides in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled vision disability lands in the top 5.1% nationally, slow internet speeds registers in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 3.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 88301, about 16 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 1.28 years of 80.1, 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.
