Full methodology ›The read
Scroggins, Texas (ZIP 75480), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,665th) and the top 30% of Texas (557th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: homeownership lands in the top 8.4% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Lead in tap water registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the bottom 12.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 7.3% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the top 8.9% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the top 9.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 12.5% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol lands in the top 10.2% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 75457, 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 1.63 years of 77.1, 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.
