Dental provider access

The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75703, one of several in Tyler, Texas, on the composite measure, lands in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,833rd) and the top 12.8% of Texas (239th).
What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: dental providers registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and outpatient lands in the top 9.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers lies in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled radon settles in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 13.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled extreme heat is in the top 7.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk rests in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat sits in the top 10.8% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 12.0% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.42 years of 79.6, 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.
