Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Sacul, Texas (ZIP 75788) lands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,490th) and the top 29% of Texas (548th).
Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: home broadband subscription is at the national minimum, and modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 6.4% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum, poverty rests at the national minimum, and homeownership stands at the national maximum. Modeled pfas lies in the bottom 3.8% nationally, disaster risk lands in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and expected annual loss sits in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Set beside the nearby areas, home broadband subscription runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 75780, about 13 miles away, 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.
