In overall standing, ZIP 76040, one of several in Euless, Texas comes out in the bottom 46% nationally (17,389th) and the top 32% of Texas (593rd).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 1.8% nationally, extreme heat resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the top 6.5% nationally, modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and homeownership settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Lithium in drinking water registers in the top 8.1% nationally. On the brighter side, subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 6.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76021, 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 0.98 years of 77.8, 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.
