On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 76013, one of several in Arlington, Texas ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,831st) and the top 23% of Texas (436th).
The measures split the difference for this area: dental providers stands in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Walkability lies in the top 10.5% nationally. Against that, modeled extreme heat resides in the top 2.1% nationally, slow internet speeds lands in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 4.4% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 10.2% nationally, homeownership rests in the bottom 10.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss is in the top 11.4% nationally. PFOS in drinking water stands in the top 12.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 76012, 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 0.58 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.
