Judged by its overall standing, Solano, New Mexico (ZIP 87746) sits in the bottom 22% nationally (25,119th) and the bottom 33% of New Mexico (226th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings carry most of this area's story: distance to a nursing home rests in the top 1.0% nationally, households without a vehicle settles in the top 1.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 1.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally, modeled vision disability settles in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lands in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled mammography rests in the bottom 4.0% nationally. On the better side, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 87701, 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 3.83 years of 85.5, 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.
