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
ZIP 75654, one of several in Henderson, Texas, in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 33% nationally (21,476th) and the top 47% of Texas (872nd).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled pfas is in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and arsenic lies in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled radon is in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Against that, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 6.7% nationally, and extreme heat registers in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled uninsured is in the top 7.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the top 8.9% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the top 12.6% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 75669, 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 0.61 years of 76.7, 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.
