Full methodology ›The read
Nemo, Texas (ZIP 76070) ranks in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,379th) and the top 12.0% of Texas (223rd).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, and household income lands in the top 5.1% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Poverty rests in the bottom 10.4% nationally, modeled tooth loss lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and modeled pfas settles in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Modeled radon rests in the bottom 6.1% nationally. By contrast, modeled extreme heat lands in the top 2.5% nationally, distance to a community health center settles in the top 4.1% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally.
For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 76126, about 19 miles away.

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 1.87 years of 81.7, 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.
