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.

Jacksonville, Texas (ZIP 75766), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 17% nationally (26,751st) and the bottom 22% of Texas (1,451st).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: lithium in drinking water settles in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled uninsured lies in the top 3.6% nationally, industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 4.9% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 7.6% nationally, humid heat lands in the top 9.2% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 9.8% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 10.4% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 10.7% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 76.0, 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.
