Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Quitman, Texas (ZIP 75783) lands in the bottom 23% nationally (24,776th) and the bottom 34% of Texas (1,242nd).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled radon sits in the bottom 9.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled extreme heat is in the top 6.5% nationally, humid heat settles in the top 9.4% nationally, and coronary heart disease resides in the top 9.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 10.2% nationally, modeled hearing disability rests in the top 11.8% nationally, and modeled stroke stands in the top 11.3% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lies in the top 13.2% nationally.
A note on the terms: radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 75410, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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

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.
