Walkability
0.24 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 0.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
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 ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
26.9 mi
in the top 2.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST74thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
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 Superfund site
95.3 mi
in the top 3.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a nursing home
13.8 mi
in the top 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST54thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
10.0%
in the bottom 9.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST23rdUS9thDefinition & 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 ›Humid extreme heat
12.4 days/year
in the bottom 9.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST50thUS9thDefinition & 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 ›The read
On what the available sources can show, for Redrock, New Mexico (ZIP 88055), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Where the data reaches, it shows a few things about this area: modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 9.1% nationally, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 9.3% nationally, and park land registers in the top 10.3% nationally. By contrast, walkability rests in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 6.3% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 83.0 yr ± 3.63 | 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 3.63 years of 83.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
