The read
By the composite measure, Robinson, Texas (ZIP 76706) sits in the bottom 14.2% nationally (27,514th) and the bottom 17% of Texas (1,554th).
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled extreme heat registers in the top 2.0% nationally, uninsured lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 4.2% nationally, housing-cost burden settles in the top 4.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 4.7% nationally. Homeownership is in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and poverty rests in the top 5.1% nationally. More positively, modeled high cholesterol sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 5.5% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 76655, just across the boundary, ranks 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

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.
