Brandon, Texas (ZIP 76628), overall, ranks in the bottom 31% nationally (22,075th) and the top 50% of Texas (933rd).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: crowded housing rests in the top 1.6% nationally, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.9% nationally, and modeled extreme heat resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Unemployment settles in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the top 8.0% nationally. On the better side, housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, and poverty lands at the national minimum. Homeownership lies at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 76631, 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 1.65 years of 80.8, 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.
