Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 75706, one of several in Lindale, Texas, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 13.3% nationally (27,825th) and the bottom 15% of Texas (1,585th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: lead in tap water sits at the national minimum. On the other side, modeled uninsured lies in the top 2.0% nationally, and extreme heat rests in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled vision disability resides in the top 7.9% nationally, fair or poor health is in the top 8.5% nationally, and colon screening lands in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 9.1% nationally, cognitive disability registers in the top 10.7% nationally, and self-care disability settles in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the top 11.6% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 75704, 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 0.64 years of 75.8, 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.
