Full methodology ›The read
On the data available so far, for Causey, New Mexico (ZIP 88113), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Several of the measures in hand are worth setting out: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and pfas registers in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband registers in the top 8.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled nitrate lies in the top 2.0% nationally, modeled arsenic is in the top 2.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.9% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 7.5% nationally.
For context, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark.

| Life expectancy at birth | 81.4 yr ± 1.85 | 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 1.85 years of 81.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
