The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Bonham, Texas (ZIP 75418) comes out in the bottom 14.5% nationally (27,425th) and the bottom 17% of Texas (1,544th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Outpatient sits in the top 11.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 12.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled uninsured stands in the top 5.4% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 8.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the top 11.9% nationally, and humid heat lies in the top 12.9% nationally.
In plain terms, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 75438, 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 0.76 years of 75.8, 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.
