The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Springtown, Texas (ZIP 76082) comes out in the bottom 35% nationally (20,778th) and the top 44% of Texas (814th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: distance to a nursing home settles at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled radon registers in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 4.4% nationally, and lithium in drinking water lands in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the top 9.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Modeled mammography rests in the bottom 11.7% nationally, and binge drinking lies in the top 11.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 13.9% nationally, and modeled humid heat settles in the top 14.5% nationally.
In plain terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76020, 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 0.65 years of 77.1, 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.
