Malone, Texas (ZIP 76660), overall, ranks in the bottom 12.3% nationally (28,140th) and the bottom 13.7% of Texas (1,613th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled radon stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled extreme heat resides in the top 3.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles in the top 9.1% nationally, and modeled uninsured is in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled mammography sits in the bottom 10.1% nationally, and poverty lands in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the top 11.0% nationally.
Defined simply, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. 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 1.19 years of 77.2, 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.
