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.
Grocery access
0.28 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
9.0%
in the bottom 6.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS7thDefinition & 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
141.2 days/year
in the top 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST61stUS93rdDefinition & 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
60.3 days/year
in the top 7.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST33rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.3%
in the bottom 7.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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 ›Fatal road crashes
35.5 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 9.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS91stDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)
16.1%
in the top 9.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST50thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

ST95thUS74thDefinition & source ›

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Alto, Texas (ZIP 75925) lands in the bottom 23% nationally (24,765th) and the bottom 34% of Texas (1,241st).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: grocery resides in the top 4.3% nationally, modeled pfas settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 12.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled humid heat lands in the top 7.1% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 7.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes stands in the top 9.3% nationally, and modeled uninsured rests in the top 9.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 12.1% nationally, and modeled colon screening resides in the bottom 10.8% nationally.
Put simply, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. On the overall standing, ZIP 75760, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

Environmental-hazard standing 83.4; chronic-disease standing 31.9 — 52 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

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 1.44 years of 78.3, 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.
