Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75240, one of several in Dallas, Texas, in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 47% nationally (17,002nd) and the top 31% of Texas (577th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled uninsured sits in the top 1.7% nationally, homeownership stands in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 4.6% nationally, slow internet speeds stands in the top 3.5% nationally, and modeled extreme heat resides in the top 3.7% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 0.8% nationally, and outpatient stands in the top 3.6% nationally. Walkability resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and physicians sits in the top 5.0% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 75230, 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

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.
