What defines this ZIP

Humid extreme heat
0 days/year
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & 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
ST96thUS99thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Distance to an emergency room
60.8 mi
in the top 0.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & 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
ST7thUS2ndDefinition & 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
ST6thUS2ndDefinition & 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
ST1stUS1stDefinition & 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
ST4thUS3rdDefinition & 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
ST1stUS3rdDefinition & 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
ST69thUS96thDefinition & 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
ST83rdUS92ndDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›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.
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.

Life expectancyNCHS / RWJF USALEEP · model-based

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 77.7 yr ± 1.21 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 79.5 yr (76.1–83.2) n=357 |
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.
