ST93rdUS95thDefinition & 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.

By its overall health score, Lavon, Texas (ZIP 75166) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,960th) and the top 18% of Texas (335th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: household income lies in the top 6.6% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke is in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Against that, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 3.6% nationally, floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lies in the top 11.9% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, expected annual loss runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 75087, 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 0.87 years of 76.3, 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.
