Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Sidney, Texas (ZIP 76474) sits in the bottom 31% nationally (22,013th) and the top 50% of Texas (928th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: unemployment registers in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled extreme heat lands in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled nitrate resides in the top 4.0% nationally. Poverty lies in the top 4.5% nationally, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 5.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the top 7.8% nationally. Better still, modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 5.2% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
In plain language, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 76432, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 2.26 years of 82.2, 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.
