Ore City, Texas (ZIP 75683), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 18% nationally (26,270th) and the bottom 25% of Texas (1,403rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled arsenic is in the bottom 14.7% nationally, modeled radon lies in the bottom 13.2% nationally, and homeownership registers in the top 15% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally, industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 4.6% nationally, and extreme heat registers in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the top 12.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lies in the top 13.6% nationally. Fatal road crashes registers in the top 14.0% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the bottom 14.9% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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 75640, 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 0.82 years of 74.8, 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.
