Fort Mc Kavett, Texas (ZIP 76841), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 24% nationally (24,386th) and the bottom 36% of Texas (1,195th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled high cholesterol rests in the top 0.7% nationally, coronary heart disease settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled stroke rests in the top 4.1% nationally, modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and homeownership lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Better still, modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum, and poverty settles at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 3.3% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 76849, 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 1.89 years of 85.7, 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.
