Cross Roads, Texas (ZIP 76227), overall, ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,103rd) and the top 11.6% of Texas (215th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 2.7% nationally, hearing disability lies in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and stroke stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the top 6.8% nationally, modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and modeled mobility disability resides in the bottom 8.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled disaster risk settles in the top 1.7% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and binge drinking lands in the top 7.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 75009, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.03 years of 79.7, 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.
