Full methodology ›The read
Canones, New Mexico (ZIP 87516), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 26% nationally (23,757th) and the bottom 39% of New Mexico (207th).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled uninsured sits in the top 2.7% nationally, vision disability stands in the top 3.1% nationally, and fair or poor health resides in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and self-care disability stands in the top 4.1% nationally. Better still, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 1.0% nationally, and park land sits in the top 1.7% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits at the national minimum.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 87064, 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 2.11 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.
