On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 76207, one of several in Denton, Texas ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,734th) and the top 14.2% of Texas (264th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: home broadband subscription lands in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled tooth loss rests in the bottom 10.1% nationally. On the other side, modeled extreme heat is in the top 3.7% nationally, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 9.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 10.2% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the top 13.7% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the top 14.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 76226, 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 0.59 years of 78.0, 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.
