By its overall health score, ZIP 76244, one of several in Keller, Texas lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,493rd) and the top 8.9% of Texas (165th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure stands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and high cholesterol settles in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Fatal road crashes lies in the bottom 4.8% nationally, subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk registers in the top 1.9% nationally, extreme heat sits in the top 3.1% nationally, and expected annual loss rests in the top 4.9% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 76177, 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

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.
