The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Little Elm, Texas (ZIP 75068), overall, ranks in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,593rd) and the top 12.5% of Texas (233rd).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and hearing disability lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and modeled stroke registers in the bottom 3.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 0.9% nationally, and disaster risk settles in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 3.2% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 6.2% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. ZIP 75078, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.63 years of 79.9, 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.
