Overall, ZIP 76010, one of several in Arlington, Texas places in the bottom 8.1% nationally (29,471st) and the bottom 7.2% of Texas (1,734th).
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: modeled uninsured is in the top 0.7% nationally, and colon screening lands in the bottom 0.8% nationally. Modeled vision disability stands in the top 4.1% nationally, and cognitive disability registers in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health settles in the top 3.7% nationally, modeled short sleep sits in the top 2.6% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water lies at the national maximum. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 2.2% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 2.3% nationally. On the better side, subsidized affordable housing is in the top 0.2% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 75050, 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 0.67 years of 76.0, 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.
