Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Lucas, Texas (ZIP 75002) sits in the top 13.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,406th) and the top 7.4% of Texas (138th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: household income resides in the top 5.6% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Modeled stroke resides in the bottom 6.7% nationally, distance to an emergency room sits in the bottom 12.0% nationally, and modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription resides in the top 12.3% nationally. Against that, modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 0.04% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 0.07% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides in the top 3.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 75013, 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 0.48 years of 81.0, 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.
