Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Milford, Texas (ZIP 76670) lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,233rd) and the bottom 49% of Texas (953rd).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled radon lands in the bottom 12.1% nationally, and pfas lies in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 3.0% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled uninsured resides in the top 7.4% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the top 12.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the top 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing lands in the top 15% nationally.
Put simply, 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 76050, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.15 years of 78.0, 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.
