Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 75090, one of several in Sherman, Texas ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (26,008th) and the bottom 27% of Texas (1,371st).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Physicians registers in the top 7.2% nationally, and dental providers rests in the top 7.4% nationally. Pharmacy stands in the top 8.2% nationally, and grocery lies in the top 10.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled uninsured lands in the top 4.4% nationally, extreme heat sits in the top 5.4% nationally, and short sleep is in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 8.0% nationally.
To spell things out, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 75020, 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 0.61 years of 74.6, 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.
