What defines this ZIP

Unemployment rate
13.5%
in the top 4.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
45.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 5.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
75.6 mi
in the top 5.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
63.7 days/year

ST90thUS93rdDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Poverty rate

The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Full methodology ›The read
Arthur City, Texas (ZIP 75411), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 17% nationally (26,503rd) and the bottom 24% of Texas (1,429th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 5.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, unemployment registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and fatal road crashes settles in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 6.8% nationally, floodplain exposure lies in the top 7.1% nationally, and poverty rests in the top 8.6% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability is in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the top 11.2% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 75473, 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 1.75 years of 75.6, 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.
