Full methodology ›The read
Wylie, Texas (ZIP 75098), on the composite measure, lands in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,195th) and the top 10.0% of Texas (185th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally, modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled stroke rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally, household income sits in the top 9.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the top 9.7% nationally. On the other hand, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 0.07% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the top 0.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies in the top 3.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 10.9% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 75002, just across the boundary.

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 0.48 years of 79.6, 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.
