In its overall standing, Kildare, Texas (ZIP 75562) lands in the bottom 9.6% nationally (29,019th) and the bottom 9.3% of Texas (1,696th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 2.0% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the top 2.1% nationally, and poverty sits in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 3.6% nationally, transportation noise lies in the top 5.4% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the top 8.7% nationally. On the brighter side, homeownership rests at the national maximum, and modeled pfas registers in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Put simply, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. On the overall standing, ZIP 75555, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.21 years of 77.8, 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.
