Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Voca, Texas (ZIP 76887) sits in the bottom 33% nationally (21,552nd) and the top 47% of Texas (878th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: distance to an emergency room resides in the top 2.2% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled hearing disability stands in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol resides in the top 2.6% nationally, extreme heat sits in the top 4.6% nationally, and high blood pressure stands in the top 6.5% nationally. On the better side, poverty resides at the national minimum, and homeownership sits at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 5.0% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 76842, 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 2.24 years of 83.7, 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.
