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.
Physician access
3.9 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ offices located 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.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
141.3 days/year

Lower is healthier
ST62ndUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Air-toxics cancer risk
38.8 per million
in the top 7.5% nationally
Lower is healthier

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Radon

Lower is healthier
ST40thUS7thDefinition & 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 ›Obesity

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 75965, one of several in Nacogdoches, Texas sits in the bottom 39% nationally (19,546th) and the top 39% of Texas (729th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: physicians lies in the top 2.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Dental providers stands in the top 11.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled humid heat rests in the top 7.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers in the top 8.7% nationally, and homeownership lands in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 10.6% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 11.2% nationally.
In plain language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 75760, about 2.4 miles away, ranks 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

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.
