Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 76401, one of several in Stephenville, Texas sits in the bottom 46% nationally (17,276th) and the top 31% of Texas (588th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 1.6% nationally, disaster risk sits in the top 3.8% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 4.4% nationally. Homeownership resides in the bottom 12.7% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 11.6% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the bottom 7.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 76433, 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 0.61 years of 78.9, 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.
