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.
Fatal road crashes
59.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 2.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS98thDefinition & 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.

ST94thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.

Lower is healthier
ST43rdUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›High blood pressure

The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have high blood pressure.
Full methodology ›The read
Streetman, Texas (ZIP 75859), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 26% nationally (23,889th) and the bottom 39% of Texas (1,140th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 11.4% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Unemployment is in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, fatal road crashes lands in the top 2.3% nationally, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 3.9% nationally, and modeled humid heat registers in the top 11.3% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 8.6% nationally, high blood pressure sits in the top 13.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease lies in the top 15% nationally. Recreation rests at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 75840, 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 1.03 years of 77.8, 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.
