On balance, and by the composite measure, Tererro, New Mexico (ZIP 87573) ranks in the bottom 46% nationally (17,297th) and the top 41% of New Mexico (139th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: walkability stands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 4.2% nationally. On the encouraging side, park land lies in the top 0.05% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 0.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 2.3% nationally. Poverty rests at the national minimum, home broadband subscription is at the national maximum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. 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.

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

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.
