Expected annual disaster loss
$1
in the top 1.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

in the top 1.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
87.7 days/year
in the top 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST63rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Walkability
120 intersections/sq mi
in the top 7.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
0.98 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Tooth loss

in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 65 and older who have lost all of their natural teeth.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST90thUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.
Full methodology ›Outpatient-care access
0.44 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST91stUS90thDefinition & source ›
The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›PFOA in drinking water
85.4%
in the top 10.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOA, one of the man-made “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75252, one of several in Dallas, Texas, on the composite measure, lands in the top 12.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,972nd) and the top 6.6% of Texas (123rd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: walkability registers in the top 7.3% nationally, recreation lands in the top 9.2% nationally, and modeled tooth loss resides in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Outpatient lies in the top 10.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 1.0% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 3.6% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden sits in the top 9.7% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water registers in the top 10.4% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 75093, 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.
