The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

On the composite measure, Bullard, Texas (ZIP 75757) stands in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,722nd) and the top 23% of Texas (432nd).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: lithium in drinking water resides in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands in the top 11.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled radon resides in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 18% nationally, lead in tap water resides in the bottom 20% nationally, and modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 22% nationally. On the other side, modeled extreme heat sits in the top 6.5% nationally, and humid heat resides in the top 12.2% nationally.
For clarity, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 75703, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.09 years of 80.8, 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.
