Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 76177, one of several in Fort Worth, Texas, in overall standing, comes out in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,938th) and the top 8.1% of Texas (150th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 1.5% nationally, high cholesterol rests in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and high blood pressure settles in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled hearing disability lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, stroke rests in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and mobility disability settles in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, slow internet speeds rests in the top 1.4% nationally, and modeled extreme heat settles in the top 3.2% nationally. PFOA in drinking water lands in the top 5.5% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76248, 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 1.08 years of 81.0, 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.
