Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 75050, one of several in Grand Prairie, Texas lands in the bottom 24% nationally (24,306th) and the bottom 36% of Texas (1,188th).
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled uninsured registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 1.3% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site stands at the national minimum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 2.2% nationally, disaster risk sits in the top 2.9% nationally, and colon screening is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.1% nationally, homeownership resides in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 7.8% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 76006, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

Findings that name this ZIP
3 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Below what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 77.1 ± 1.2 years. A median household income of $73,274 predicts 78.9 years — 1.7 years below.
Ranked #2,145 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.
Heavy environment, light chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 1.6 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 82.6 — 81 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #17,259 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.
Highest-risk tenth
Air toxics and the years between the two ends of the risk scale
Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is 47.0 cases per million — among the tenth of compared ZIP codes with the most. Estimated life expectancy is 77.1 ± 1.2 years.
Ranked #252 of the 4,173 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by modeled air-toxics risk, highest first.

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 0.63 years of 77.1, 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.
