Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 75233, one of several in Dallas, Texas sits in the bottom 16% nationally (27,057th) and the bottom 20% of Texas (1,487th).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled uninsured rests in the top 0.7% nationally, vision disability settles in the top 1.8% nationally, and self-care disability lands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health rests in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled tooth loss settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and poverty lands in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled independent living disability rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 3.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the top 4.3% nationally. Better still, subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 0.6% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 75208, 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 1.00 years of 77.6, 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.
