Child-care access
1.6 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico (ZIP 87072) lands in the bottom 17% nationally (26,549th) and the bottom 26% of New Mexico (250th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled mammography lands in the bottom 4.2% nationally, colon screening lies in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and short sleep stands in the top 4.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled transportation registers in the top 4.7% nationally. On the better side, childcare resides in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 4.5% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, childcare runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. On the overall standing, ZIP 87041, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.84 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.
