Floodplain exposure
78.5%

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The read
Redwater, Texas (ZIP 75573), overall, ranks in the bottom 14.2% nationally (27,540th) and the bottom 17% of Texas (1,556th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: floodplain exposure rests in the top 1.2% nationally, and walkability registers in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Homeownership settles in the bottom 9.5% nationally, and modeled extreme heat is in the top 9.7% nationally. Modeled humid heat sits in the top 9.9% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 75567, just across the boundary, comes out healthier 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 1.89 years of 76.8, 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. How distance is measured
