The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Lipan, Texas (ZIP 76462) stands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,217th) and the top 29% of Texas (534th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: childcare rests in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Poverty settles in the bottom 16% nationally, and homeownership rests in the top 20% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the bottom 21% nationally. By contrast, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 3.6% nationally, distance to a community health center rests in the top 12.3% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the top 14.7% nationally. Modeled binge drinking settles in the top 14.9% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 15% nationally.
For clarity, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 76087, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.75 years of 75.8, 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.
