The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Bivins, Texas (ZIP 75555) lands in the bottom 26% nationally (23,798th) and the bottom 40% of Texas (1,129th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled pfas settles in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and arsenic resides in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the bottom 12.2% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, unemployment stands in the top 5.1% nationally, home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and modeled extreme heat lands in the top 8.3% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat is in the top 9.8% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 15% nationally.
A note on the terms: 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 75565, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 78.5, 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.
