Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, for Gladstone, New Mexico (ZIP 88422), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 7.0% nationally. By contrast, slow internet speeds rests in the top 1.3% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 2.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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 | 84.2 yr ± 1.75 | 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 1.75 years of 84.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
