Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75061, one of several in Irving, Texas, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 24% nationally (24,529th) and the bottom 35% of Texas (1,211th).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: modeled uninsured registers in the top 0.8% nationally, and colon screening settles in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 1.9% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 2.2% nationally. Crowded housing rests in the top 2.8% nationally, homeownership resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water is in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lands in the top 5.9% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 2.4% nationally, and lithium in drinking water registers in the bottom 3.7% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 0.57 years of 78.0, 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.
