Berino, New Mexico (ZIP 88024), overall, ranks in the bottom 9.1% nationally (29,156th) and the bottom 14.3% of New Mexico (289th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled uninsured rests in the top 0.4% nationally, colon screening registers in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and vision disability resides in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the top 0.05% nationally, fair or poor health is in the top 0.8% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the top 0.2% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lands in the top 0.3% nationally, and cognitive disability lies in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled self-care disability stands in the top 2.8% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. ZIP 88021, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 2.84 years of 85.0, 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.
