Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Avalon, Texas (ZIP 76623) lands in the bottom 35% nationally (20,768th) and the top 43% of Texas (811th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: crowded housing stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled uninsured lands in the top 3.8% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 2.6% nationally. Homeownership is in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the better side, modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Set beside the nearby areas, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 75165, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 2.59 years of 82.9, 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.
