Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 76140, one of several in Fort Worth, Texas sits in the bottom 28% nationally (23,175th) and the bottom 43% of Texas (1,063rd).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 3.5% nationally, modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally. On the other hand, modeled uninsured registers in the top 3.0% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the top 4.2% nationally, and colon screening lies in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled disaster risk stands in the top 9.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 76016, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.96 years of 77.7, 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.
