Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 76053, one of several in Hurst, Texas, by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,781st) and the top 30% of Texas (565th).
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: modeled extreme heat is in the top 2.3% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 6.8% nationally, and uninsured rests in the top 7.9% nationally. Homeownership lies in the bottom 9.2% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 10.6% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 11.4% nationally. Modeled disaster risk registers in the top 11.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 11.8% nationally. More encouragingly, subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 2.1% nationally, and walkability is in the top 10.2% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 76022, 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 0.94 years of 76.7, 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.
