Belton, Texas (ZIP 76513), overall, ranks in the bottom 48% nationally (16,767th) and the top 30% of Texas (564th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: distance to a Superfund site resides at the national minimum, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss is in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 5.4% nationally, humid heat lands in the top 11.6% nationally, and uninsured lies in the top 10.9% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled radon stands in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 10.6% nationally, and park land resides in the top 15% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 76548, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.56 years of 78.2, 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.
