By the composite health measure, ZIP 75060, one of several in Irving, Texas ranks in the bottom 21% nationally (25,298th) and the bottom 30% of Texas (1,304th).
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled uninsured lands in the top 0.9% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 2.3% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.2% nationally. PFOA in drinking water resides in the top 6.3% nationally, crowded housing registers in the top 6.3% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water rests in the top 6.5% nationally. Floodplain exposure stands in the top 7.0% nationally. On the brighter side, lithium in drinking water lies in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 7.4% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Close by, ZIP 75050, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.47 years of 77.0, 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. How distance is measured
