Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Art, Texas (ZIP 76820) comes out in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,385th) and the top 20% of Texas (378th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum, modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lands in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the top 3.5% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 6.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled high cholesterol rests in the top 0.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 4.3% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 4.7% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 78624, about 11 miles away.

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 1.07 years of 79.9, 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.
