On balance, and by the composite measure, Pottsville, Texas (ZIP 76565) ranks in the bottom 27% nationally (23,453rd) and the bottom 41% of Texas (1,093rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: walkability stands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lies in the top 3.5% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 3.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands in the top 4.2% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled mobility disability sits in the top 6.4% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 1.4% nationally, transportation noise is at the national minimum, and binge drinking stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally.
In plainer terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 76844, about 0.7 miles away.

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 3.11 years of 83.9, 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.
