Full methodology ›The read
Flora Vista, New Mexico (ZIP 87415), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 35% nationally (20,728th) and the bottom 50% of New Mexico (170th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and humid heat lands in the bottom 9.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled mammography resides in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and pfas stands in the top 8.5% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover rests in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and crowded housing sits in the top 11.2% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 87402, 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 3.73 years of 85.4, 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.
