Lohn, Texas (ZIP 76852), overall, ranks in the bottom 14.4% nationally (27,472nd) and the bottom 17% of Texas (1,549th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 4.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 2.1% nationally, modeled nitrate registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 3.7% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 3.0% nationally, and diabetes stands in the top 5.8% nationally.
Defined simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. ZIP 76825, 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 1.00 years of 79.2, 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.
