On balance, and by the composite measure, Guadalupita, New Mexico (ZIP 87722) ranks in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,702nd) and the top 33% of New Mexico (110th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and binge drinking sits in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and fiber broadband is in the top 3.1% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 4.7% nationally. Against that, modeled energy burden lies in the top 1.0% nationally, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 1.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 4.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower 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. 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

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 1.17 years of 77.7, 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.
