Judged by its overall standing, Midlothian, Texas (ZIP 76065) sits in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,108th) and the top 14.8% of Texas (276th).
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: household income registers in the top 7.5% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease is in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Modeled stroke registers in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 3.8% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water registers at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss is in the top 10.1% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water lies in the top 13.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the top 13.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 75054, 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 0.71 years of 78.8, 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.
