Kirvin, Texas (ZIP 75848), overall, ranks in the bottom 15% nationally (27,149th) and the bottom 19% of Texas (1,505th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: homeownership sits at the national maximum, home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 7.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled extreme heat resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 4.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 5.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 6.7% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 75859, just across the boundary, comes out healthier 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

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 2.11 years of 74.9, 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.
