ST97thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Lower is healthier
ST94thUS90thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 5.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST32ndUS5thDefinition & source ›
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
Seagoville, Texas (ZIP 75159), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 15.0% nationally (27,259th) and the bottom 18% of Texas (1,523rd).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled uninsured registers in the top 2.1% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 2.4% nationally. Floodplain exposure sits in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening lies in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 9.6% nationally, crowded housing resides in the top 10.4% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water is in the top 12.6% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the top 14.0% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled radon stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down.

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 75.9, 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.
