ZIP 76549, one of several in Killeen, Texas, on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 40% nationally (19,326th) and the top 38% of Texas (713th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled short sleep sits in the top 1.8% nationally, extreme heat registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the top 4.4% nationally, disaster risk lies in the top 6.8% nationally, and uninsured settles in the top 8.4% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and coronary heart disease is in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 76522, 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

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.
