What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Dry extreme heat
88.1 days/year
in the top 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST64thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST5thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
24.7 mi
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.7 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 5.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST4thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
38.8 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.3%
in the bottom 8.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
0.98 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
90.9%
in the top 14.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS85thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
8.4 mi
in the top 17% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS83rdDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Evant, Texas (ZIP 76525) lands in the bottom 33% nationally (21,479th) and the top 47% of Texas (873rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and arsenic stands in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Recreation settles in the top 9.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Modeled radon resides in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 14.8% nationally. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 3.6% nationally, distance to a community health center sits in the top 5.8% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the top 7.4% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 76566, 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 1.42 years of 80.1, 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.
