What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Humid extreme heat

0 days/year

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

7.3%

in the top 1.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Distance to an emergency room

60.8 mi

in the top 0.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency room.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

0.8 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 1.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST7th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

5.9%

in the bottom 2.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST6th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the bottom 2.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US3rd
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

10 per million

in the bottom 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US3rd
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a nursing home

19.1 mi

in the top 3.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST69th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

63.7 mi

in the top 7.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST83rd
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

The read

From what the available data documents, for Valmora, New Mexico (ZIP 87750), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: modeled humid heat sits at the national minimum, pfas settles in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and transportation noise registers at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 7.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled energy burden resides in the top 1.0% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 0.6% nationally. Walkability lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 3.6% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

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 1.21 years of 77.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
