Dry extreme heat
96.7 days/year

Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS98thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
82 µg/L
in the top 4.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Mental-health provider access
0.18 per 1,000 residents
in the top 5.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of mental-health clinics located 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 ›Home broadband subscription
98.7%

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Poverty rate

The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
Full methodology ›Radon

Lower is healthier
ST40thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Vision disability

The estimated share of adults who are blind or have serious difficulty seeing even with glasses.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, China Spring, Texas (ZIP 76633) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,527th) and the top 13.9% of Texas (258th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: mental-health providers sits in the top 5.2% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 6.3% nationally. Poverty is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Outpatient settles in the top 14.3% nationally, modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 17% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 18% nationally. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat lands in the top 1.7% nationally, lithium in drinking water registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled humid heat sits in the top 10.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 76638, 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 1.30 years of 80.6, 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.
