What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Elder-services access
0.36 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
8.3%
in the bottom 5.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
146.6 days/year
in the top 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST66thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
62 days/year
in the top 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST35thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
36.4 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 8.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST85thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate
9.7%
in the top 10.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›Households without a vehicle

Lower is healthier
ST90thUS87thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.

Full methodology ›The read
Groveton, Texas (ZIP 75845), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 18% nationally (26,403rd) and the bottom 24% of Texas (1,420th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: elder services stands in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled pfas lands in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled humid heat resides in the top 5.6% nationally, and extreme heat rests in the top 7.1% nationally. Fatal road crashes lies in the top 8.7% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 10.2% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 12.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands in the top 12.9% nationally.
Defined in plain 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 75847, 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 1.28 years of 78.1, 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.
