Doucette, Texas (ZIP 75942) ranks in the bottom 4.3% nationally (30,718th) and the bottom 2.8% of Texas (1,817th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled self-care disability rests in the top 3.3% nationally, and independent living disability lands in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 1.5% nationally, and mobility disability rests in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the top 4.1% nationally, stroke settles in the top 3.6% nationally, and diabetes rests in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled vision disability lands in the top 6.0% nationally, short sleep settles in the top 4.7% nationally, and humid heat rests in the top 4.1% nationally.
For context, loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 75938, 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 1.09 years of 79.2, 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.
