Judged by its overall standing, Moran, Texas (ZIP 76464) sits in the bottom 43% nationally (18,302nd) and the top 34% of Texas (640th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 3.0% nationally, modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lies in the bottom 15.0% nationally. Against that, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 3.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 6.8% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 12.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 76430, 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 1.04 years of 80.8, 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.
