continue reading

The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled diabetes rests in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and stroke resides in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Modeled mobility disability is in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and obesity lands in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled self-care disability stands in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum. Pulling the other way, slow internet speeds settles in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 2.6% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 76109, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 31.3; chronic-disease standing 99.6 (top 1%) — 68 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
