The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Overall, Millersview, Texas (ZIP 76862) places in the bottom 13.3% nationally (27,832nd) and the bottom 15% of Texas (1,587th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: lead in tap water lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 1.6% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 3.0% nationally, and lithium in drinking water settles in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 4.8% nationally, extreme heat lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and stroke rests in the top 5.3% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, distance to a Superfund site is in the top 4.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 5.3% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 76821, 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 2.39 years of 86.8, 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.
