Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Kopperl, Texas (ZIP 76652) lands in the bottom 16% nationally (26,932nd) and the bottom 21% of Texas (1,476th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: poverty lies in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled pfas lands in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Against that, modeled extreme heat sits in the top 2.8% nationally, home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 8.1% nationally, slow internet speeds settles in the top 13.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the top 13.8% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 76033, 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 1.53 years of 78.1, 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.
