Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75225, one of several in Dallas, Texas, on the composite measure, lands in the top 2.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (713th) and the top 0.5% of Texas (8th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: household income settles in the top 1.1% nationally, dental providers stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability rests in the bottom 0.7% nationally, physicians sits in the top 3.0% nationally, and outpatient registers in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled independent living disability lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally. On the other hand, PFOA in drinking water resides at the national maximum, and PFOS in drinking water lies at the national maximum. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 2.7% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.86 years of 81.6, 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.
