On balance, and by the composite measure, Glencoe, New Mexico (ZIP 88324) ranks in the bottom 32% nationally (21,777th) and the bottom 46% of New Mexico (183rd).
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and mammography lands in the bottom 3.3% nationally. On the stronger side, park land registers in the top 0.4% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 0.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum. Poverty is at the national minimum, homeownership stands at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 88312, just across the boundary.

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 2.08 years of 83.1, 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.
