The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
Bluff Dale, Texas (ZIP 76433) ranks in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,777th) and the top 18% of Texas (328th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled pfas resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and arsenic stands in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Household income sits in the top 10.4% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Civic stands in the top 12.6% nationally, modeled radon sits in the bottom 12.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle resides in the bottom 18% nationally. On the other side, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 3.7% nationally, and humid heat sits in the top 16% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 76070, about 6.4 miles away.

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 1.14 years of 81.0, 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.
