Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 75160, one of several in Terrell, Texas comes out in the bottom 27% nationally (23,493rd) and the bottom 41% of Texas (1,097th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled radon rests in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Elder services sits in the top 13.6% nationally. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum, and modeled extreme heat registers in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled uninsured stands in the top 5.5% nationally, and crowded housing lands in the top 9.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 12.0% nationally, and humid heat resides in the top 12.5% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 75032, 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 0.47 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.
