The read

Pottsboro, Texas (ZIP 75076), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 43% nationally (18,205th) and the top 34% of Texas (637th).

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled radon settles in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 5.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure is in the top 12.3% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the top 17% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the top 14.2% nationally, and pfas lies in the top 19% nationally. Physicians sits at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.

Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 75092, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.85 years of 74.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
