Brookeland, Texas (ZIP 75931), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 33% nationally (21,381st) and the top 46% of Texas (862nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled radon lies in the bottom 12.9% nationally. On the other hand, modeled humid heat registers in the top 6.1% nationally, high cholesterol is in the top 6.3% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 12.4% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 12.8% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the top 13.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas registers in the top 16% nationally, and coronary heart disease is in the top 17% nationally. Physicians lies at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, for reference, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. 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. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

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 0.92 years of 75.3, 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.
