Priddy, Texas (ZIP 76870), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 41% nationally (18,893rd) and the top 36% of Texas (679th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: distance to an emergency room registers in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled extreme heat settles in the top 4.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 5.5% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 5.6% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, poverty resides at the national minimum, and homeownership is at the national maximum.

Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 2.30 years of 82.5, 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.
