Full methodology ›The read
Rockwall, Texas (ZIP 75087), overall, ranks in the top 13.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,237th) and the top 7.1% of Texas (132nd).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: dental providers is in the top 4.5% nationally, household income sits in the top 7.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled stroke lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally, home broadband subscription stands in the top 9.9% nationally, and modeled independent living disability rests in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 1.7% nationally, and disaster risk settles in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 3.3% 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. ZIP 75048, about 3.1 miles away, 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 0.46 years of 78.9, 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. How distance is measured
