Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 76116, one of several in Fort Worth, Texas, in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 30% nationally (22,497th) and the bottom 47% of Texas (987th).
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: modeled uninsured lies in the top 4.8% nationally, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 2.8% nationally, and homeownership is in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies in the top 4.6% nationally, modeled disaster risk registers in the top 6.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle is in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 7.9% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water registers in the top 10.6% nationally. On the better side, subsidized affordable housing is in the top 0.5% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 7.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76008, 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 0.58 years of 76.1, 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.
