The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Caddo Mills, Texas (ZIP 75135) lands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,501st) and the top 29% of Texas (550th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled radon sits in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 4.5% nationally, colon screening resides in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 13.2% nationally. Unemployment rests in the top 13.5% nationally, modeled humid heat stands in the top 14.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lies in the top 12.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Crowded housing sits in the top 16% nationally.
A note on the terms: radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 75164, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.84 years of 77.5, 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.
