The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

ST9thUS15thDefinition & 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.

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 76001, one of several in Arlington, Texas stands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,475th) and the top 12.3% of Texas (228th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and park land is in the top 12.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 2.2% nationally, lithium in drinking water lies in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled disaster risk is in the top 9.9% nationally. PFOS in drinking water registers in the top 11.7% nationally, modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 12.2% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the top 13.0% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. ZIP 76016, about 1.2 miles away, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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.
