Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 76179, one of several in Fort Worth, Texas, on the composite measure, lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,233rd) and the top 16% of Texas (307th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 4.6% nationally, hearing disability sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and high cholesterol registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, home broadband subscription resides in the top 9.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 9.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled disaster risk settles in the top 2.5% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the top 5.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 7.5% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday 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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 76052, 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 0.84 years of 79.2, 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.
