Full methodology ›The read
Olden, Texas (ZIP 76466), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 30% nationally (22,361st) and the bottom 48% of Texas (967th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: crowded housing registers in the top 0.4% nationally, households without a vehicle is in the top 2.9% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled extreme heat is in the top 4.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 6.7% nationally. Better still, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 7.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 7.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76448, 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 1.83 years of 77.6, 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.
