Lower is healthier
ST27thUS4thDefinition & source ›
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.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Cooper, Texas (ZIP 75432) sits in the bottom 22% nationally (24,918th) and the bottom 32% of Texas (1,261st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled radon lands in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 12.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 15% nationally. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 5.8% nationally, and humid heat lands in the top 11.5% nationally. Fatal road crashes rests in the top 17% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 18% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
Put plainly, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 75415, 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 1.29 years of 74.5, 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.
